Working group: Theology in the climate crisis
Ramin Khatibi on unsplah
In theology and the church, sustainability and climate protection are increasingly guiding actions - and their theological classification and interpretation are becoming more and more controversial the more concrete they become. Against this background, Prof. Julia Enxing is working in the working group: Theology in the Climate Crisis. It is being negotiated where and how the understanding of the world and the role of human beings in dealing with the climate crisis is to be determined - also beyond the discussed metaphor of creation. Information about the working group can be found here.
