Synopsis

This volume contains contributions to an international conference on "Ecumenical and Interreligious Study Programs - Experiences from Beirut, Hyderabad, Jerusalem and Kyoto", organized 2022 by the Evangelical Churches in Hesse and the Evangelical Mission in Solidarity. Its aim was an evaluation of these study programs based on intercultural experiences. The increasing globalization processes in trade, politics, culture and religion require ecumenical and interreligious training of future pastors and religious educators in foreign cultures in order to tackle the challenges at home. The contributors are participants of these programs, their organizers abroad or their institutional supporters. The encouraging results of 20-40 years of experience up to now suggest that churches should send more students and invest more resources in these study opportunities.
