Ecumenical Institute
The Ecumenical Institute explores various issues in and with the diversity of Christian churches and groups. This takes place in the following areas: A) Intra-protestant ecumenism (including the inclusion of new phenomena such as post-confessionalism); B) Inter-confessional (intra-Christian) ecumenism, especially in Europe; C) Global ecumenism combined with an intercultural-theological orientation (including World Christianity Studies).
