About this Item

Neuware - After the 2021 Theological Conference of the Meissen Commission focussed on the theological and ecclesiological potential of the Meissen Declaration for ecumenical relations between the Protestant Church in Germany and the Church of England from today's perspective, the conference of 2024 explored the scope of the Declaration in terms of canon law and practical theology. At the same time, there were discussions of the important social upheavals that have since changed the church's understanding of ministry were included. Reflections on ecumenical experiences of interchangeability on the ground show the opportunities and limitations within the Meissen Declaration as well as in different regional, social and ecclesial contexts. [Auf dem Weg zur Austauschbarkeit II: Örtliche und kirchenrechtliche Perspektiven und die Meissener Erklärung]Nachdem 2021 die theologischen und ekklesiologischen Potentiale der Meissener Erklärung zwischen der Kirche von England und der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland aus heutiger Sicht im Blickpunkt der Theologischen Konferenz der Meissen Kommission standen, hat die Konferenz des Jahres 2024 die kirchenrechtlichen und praktisch-theologischen Spielräume der Erklärung ausgelotet. Dabei wurden wichtige gesellschaftliche Umbrüche einbezogen, die das jeweilige kirchliche Amtsverständnis inzwischen verändert haben. Reflexionen auf ökumenische Erfahrungen der Austauschbarkeit vor Ort zeigen Chancen und Grenzen innerhalb der Meissener Erklärung sowie eines unterschiedlichen regionalen, gesellschaftlichen und kirchlichen Kontexts auf.
