Welcome at the Institute for Missiology and the Study of Theologies Beyond Europe

We kindly invite you to explore our website in order to find out more about our research and teaching projects. Fields of attention our institute is focusing on include include the intercultural-interreligious continuation of missiology, the intercultural and interreligious study of non-European theologies in worldwide Christianity and other religions, and the ecumenical missiology exchange on the foundations of committed missionary practice in the face of concrete regional and global challenges.

The three-week excursion to Senegal allows insights into practices and places of cultural memory and pilgrimage that bring together different religious traditions and forms of remembering: the island of Gorée, the Monument de la Renaissance, the large mosque in Touba, the Marian shrine of Popenguine, the Monastery of Keur Moussa and the Muslim-Christian cemetery in Joal-Fadiouth.

There will be an information evening/preliminary meeting on Monday, January 29th, 6-8 p.m., in Robert Koch Strasse 29, Room 114.
