Since it was founded in 2009 the Theological Research Centre at the University of Erfurt is concerned with faith and church, the religious individual and church community in diaspora and minority situations. The history and present of the social and religious changes that have taken place in the background are dealt with and the future perspectives of faith and church in particular are examined. For this new topics must be identified and the traditional theological discourses must be opened to new questions.
