Ecclesiastical Acting Beyond the Parish. A practical-theological theory of specialized ministries

该项目开发了一个实践神学理论的专门部委作为一种形式的教会组织，这是-迄今为止-在实践神学理论形成的研究空白。首先，该项目从经验上考察了哪些工作领域目前被归入新教国家教会的“专门部委”一词（德语中有“Dienste”、“Werke”和“Einrichtungen”三个词）。该项目然后描绘出这些组织形式的复杂起源，并将其与关于“第三部门”的理论考虑进行对比，以加深对专门部委的理解。然后，这些形式的教会行为的神学基础的工作。基于这项工作，教会的基础，这一宪法逻辑有关这些教会组织将被开发。

The project develops a practical-theological theory of specialized ministries as a form of ecclesiastical organization, which is – thus far – a research gap in practical-theological theory formation. At first, the project empirically examines which areas of work are currently subsumed under the term “specialized ministries” in the Protestant state churches (in German there are the three terms "Dienste", "Werke" and "Einrichtungen"). The project then maps out the complex genesis of these organizational forms and contrasts them with theoretical considerations regarding the "Third sector" to achieve a deeper understanding of specialized ministries. Then a theological foundation of those forms of ecclesiastical acting is worked out. Based on this work, an ecclesiastical foundation of this constitutional logic regarding these church organizations will be developed.
