Supporting Churches in Eastern & Central Europe
Scholarship program "People, not places"
In the period 1992-2021, 130 people were supported. Most of them have now taken on important tasks in their home countries/dioceses, for example as general secretary of the diocesan synod, as head of a school or pastoral office, or as a scientist. Some of the doctoral theses were published in German and in the national language of the graduates. The people come from the Catholic, Greek Catholic and Orthodox churches. Most have completed their habilitation or doctorate in pastoral theology. But candidates were also gradually accepted for related subjects: Christian social ethics, church history, religious education, moral theology...
