Ecumenical English

Ecumenical English: Christ's love moves the world to reconciliarion and unity

mit Helena Funk, Diana Lunkwitz und Megan Louis Schuster

Freitag, 06.05.2022, von 17 Uhr bis Samstag, 07.05.2022, 16 Uhr
im Leipziger Missionswerk

The seminar aims to deepen existing English language competence with a specific focus on the ecumenical family. Looking at the General Assembly of the World Council of Churches taking place in Karlsruhe this year, we will focus on their theme „Christ‘s love moves the world to reconciliation and unity“. Besides practical exercises to refresh the individual English language competence, we aim to reflect on communication experiences in the global ecumenical context.

If you have already attended previous courses, don’t hesitate to join again. We will work in small groups being appropriate for different levels of language competences.
