How can the communication of the Gospel succeed under the current conditions of secularity? How can people experience the gospel as enabling and empowering for the way they live their lives? The CES conducts research with different focuses on Christian empowerment in religious education and practical theological contexts. In the joint research colloquium, exchange takes place with guests and with each other.
A central part of the work at the CES is the transfer of knowledge between the university and the church, between academic research and church or school work. A lively exchange with full-time and volunteer workers from communities, schools and social welfare organizations enriches our research, and conversely we make research results fruitful for practice.
The CES carries out tasks in research, teaching and knowledge transfer. The connection of theory and practice, of different disciplines and different theological traditions as well as the international and ecumenical scope characterize the work in the CES.
