Annotation

Why Intercultural Theology? We live in a world characterised by MOBILITY, MIGRATION and GLOBALISATION. The encounters of people with different cultural and religious backgrounds are increasing all over the world. This results in new opportunities and challenges for society, church, diaconia and ecumenism. In many professional, private, church and social contexts the question arises: How can intercultural and interreligious exchange between people of different backgrounds be shaped constructively? This question is the central field of activity at our university of applied sciences. At the heart of academic training and research at FIT are the ability to engage in intercultural dialogue and the appreciative examination of different religions and denominations. The goal of the degree course ITMGZ is to provide an academically sound understanding of the forms and diversity of Christianity in the world and other religious traditions. The students learn to analyse the challenges faced by religious communities as a result of globalisation, migration and an intensified encounter of different cultures and religious traditions. They develop cross-cultural conversational skills and acquire theological and interreligious leadership and organisational skills.
