The Ecumenical Institute explores various issues in and with the diversity of Christian churches and groups. This takes place in the following areas: A) Intra-protestant ecumenism (including the inclusion of new phenomena such as post-confessionalism); B) Inter-confessional (intra-Christian) ecumenism, especially in Europe; C) Global ecumenism combined with an intercultural-theological orientation (including World Christianity Studies).

Our projects comprise:

I) The Theology of Dorothee Sölle

II) Exchanges with Eastern European Theology

III) Theology, Literary Studies and Art Studies

IV) Protestant and Catholic History of Theology

V) Bonn Sermon Award

VI) What Does Theology Do, Actually?
