How are practices of care, whether pastoral, diaconal or communal, influenced by cultural, contextual and religious diversity? In the course that question will be addressed in three ways. Students will study and present chapters of the main textbook on intercultural pastoral theology. In interactive lectures the teacher will supplement the textbook material. Secondly, teachers in the various disciplines of the practical theology department will interactively discuss fundamental pracitcal theological literature (articles and chapters). In the third place, each student will write weekly reflection reports in which he/she describes the relevance of the literature for the thesis research.
