Description

The purpose of the research group is to explore different themes relating to church and practice. It may be subjects arising in tension between theoretical interpretations of the church and the church as a (social) community of practice. It may also be research on different (social) practices related to a church context, widely understood. A wide understanding of practical theology is the group’s primary disciplinary framework but the group works interdisciplinary and thus includes both empirical and more theoretical and hermeneutical approaches. Researchers with an interest in and projects with relevance for the church as a practice field are welcome in the group. The group does research on different themes in the conjunction between religion and health, as it is a continuation of the former research group Religion, body and health in Global Contexts. Projects focussing on issues related to church in practice, as for example pedagogics of religion, preaching, and diverse aspects of church development belong in the group, as do projects in theology with relevance for the practice field, locally and globally. The group is connected to the Faculty of Theology and Social Sciences and the Centre of Mission and Global Studies but the members come from different faculties at VID Specialized University, NLA University College and other institutions. The group cooperates closely with the research group Research in Theology and Ministry (RITHM) at NLA University College. Co-leader: Professor Bård Eirik Hallesby Norheim, prof II at VID
