Kirchengemeindefusion
Zwischen Zwang und Selbstbestimmung
Zusammenfassung
[Church Mergers. Between Coercion and Self-Determination] This empirical study is dedicated to the hitherto little explored phenomenon of church mergers. For this purpose, seven merger processes from three different regional churches were selected and analyzed. Daniel Rudolphi conducted group discussions and guided interviews with the involved actors. He is particularly interested in the interpretation of the merger processes and images of the church underlying them. In doing so, he shows which elements of a merger process are of particular importance from the perspective of the involved actors. He sets the topic of church mergers in the larger discourse on church reform and discusses the question of why church mergers are often a very emotional event.
