Beschreibung
Der vorliegende Tagungsband versammelt Beiträge, die das Prinzip „selbständige Gemeinde“ interdisziplinär und ökumenisch unter die Lupe nehmen und mit praktisch-theologischem Fokus die unterschiedlichen Schattierungen dieses ekklesiologischen Prinzips zu erkennen geben.
[Independent congregation – a helpful illusion? Interdenominational explorations of the relationship between church and congregation with a focus on congregational free churches]
The ecclesiological guiding principle of Congregationalism is that the local church is independent in matters of leadership, doctrine, and order. In German-speaking countries, this form of church is primarily associated with so-called free churches, which explicitly identify as congregational. However, congregational elements can also be found in other forms of Protestant churches, and at the same time, not all free churches are congregational in nature. This heterogeneous picture raises questions that are characteristic of this guiding principle of the independent local congregation: What image of the congregation is decisive here? How is independence justified in its relationship to the unity of the church? What challenges arise in a late modern society?
This conference volume brings together contributions that examine the principle of the “independent congregation” from an interdisciplinary and ecumenical perspective and reveal the different nuances of this ecclesiological principle with a practical-theological focus.
