The aim is the networking and communication of those who operate
theologically and conceptually with the guiding concept of the art of
living in German-speaking Christian theology (Protestant as well as
Roman Catholic). The scope and resilience of the concept of the "art
of living" is to be explored and tested in two larger conferences as
well as two smaller workshops preceding each conference and two
joint book publications (for which the Gütersloher Verlagshaus has
already signalled interest). In particular, bridges are to be built
between the theological sub-disciplines and discourse with
neighbouring academic disciplines (e.g. pedagogy; philosophy) is to
be initiated. In this way, the "art of living" is to be established,
differentiated and secured as a guiding category of theological interdisciplinary reflection.
Fundamental anthropological questions of
dealing with finiteness and vulnerability as well as ethical, aesthetic
and spiritual aspects of Christian life design are the primary focus of
interest.
