Description
[Unexpectedly Open - Parishes in Civil Society]Where is the place of church in an increasingly unchurched society? What are its tasks? Should it deal mainly with itself and its members or open up to the surrounding social area? In six case studies these questions are dealt with in detail. Congregational actors as well as other people who are actively involved in civil society were asked about their relationships, cooperations and mutual perceptions. The results show a surprising openness of the parishes towards their environment as well as of the associations, initiatives, groups, local politicians and other actors towards the parishes - surprising, because church is often labeled as old-fashioned, out-dated. However, parishes obviously fulfill central functions for the community, according to the specific conditions on site.
