Conference: "What Does Theology Do, Actually? Part III".
Conference (07.-09. Juli 2022): 'What Does Theology Do, Actually? Part III - The Unity of the Church and ist Histories'
To speak of “challenges” is not an arbitrary choice of words. “WDTD3: The Unity of the Church and its Histories” seeks to engage the seemingly irresolvable tension between the idea of a universal church and the particularity of Christian traditions from historical perspectives. In so doing, challenges arising from this tension related to confessional identity, belonging and acceptance take center stage. Building on the WDTD Project’s interest in the confessional and cultural diversity of approaches to work in the theological disciplines, WDTD3 will consider how the work of the History of Christianity or Church History is evolving as the participants and actors doing this work engage their field interculturally and in conversation with issues of contemporary global concern.
