Liturgical Education for Pastoral Ministry in the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart: Further Development and Accompanying Research on Instruments for Quality Measurement

01/11/2024 to 31/10/2027

The Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart wants to fundamentally develop liturgical education for pastoral ministry in view of the complex challenges that have arisen due to enormous dynamisation of the socio-cultural context as well as the ecclesial environment in recent times. This has been taking place for three years within the framework of a structurally anchored co-operation with the Chair of Liturgical Studies at the Faculty of Catholic Theology. During the first three years, the chair developed and tested the overall concept of biography-oriented liturgical education. The follow-up phase will focus on consolidation and, as part of a habilitation project, on developing a system for measuring quality and evaluating corresponding instruments from a practical theological perspective.
