Salon Theology: Migration Shapes the Church

Description

Cultural diversity as a driver for church development People with a migration background shape the face of the Catholic Church, with 40% of its members having a migration background. A look into the past and present shows how the Catholic Church in Switzerland deals with migration-induced pluralization and what challenges currently arise for coexistence in diversity – from the perspective of those who have migrated as well as from the perspective of the institution. Speaker: Dr. Eva Baumann-Neuhaus Religious studies scholar and ethnologist, is scientific project manager at the Swiss Pastoral Sociology Institute in St. Gallen.
