IRD Activities
- Missiology
The missiology emerged in the 18th century as an independent theological discipline. In taking up the concept of "Missio Dei", the mission and devotion of God to the people, the missiology of today deals with topics such as globalization, climate and food justice, ecumenical and interreligious questions, and political and economic issues. Today the Leipzig Mission works especially with the Faculty of Theology at the University of Leipzig, supporting graduate students and organizing joint symposia and seminars
- Discover Diversity - Combined Action
The project is aimed at youth groups, school classes, community groups and senior citizens' groups to encourage them to learn about the cultural and religious diversity in the Saxon parishes and in their local environment. The aim is a combined action and personal encounters with people who were born in another country, come from another culture or with people of other denomination, ideology or religion.
