Nicaea and Women’s Ordained Ministry
Looking to the forthcoming Sixth World Conference on Faith and Order, we might recollect that the fifth conference at Santiago de Compostela in 1993 spoke of “continuing our study” on the ordination of women, but this ambition has never been carried out. The 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea offers an opportunity to revisit how the council dealt with the issue of the ordination of women, in particular as deaconesses. This article argues…
“Light from Light”
This article examines the phrase “light from light” in the 4th‐century Nicene and Nicene‐Constantinopolitan creeds.

Dabei werden Modelle der Erforschung von Narratologie und Intertextualität erpro…

People were educated in different ways: via socialization in families and peer-groups, education by teachers at home, in school and in catechetical settings, and in the form of self-formation. Religious education, moreover, is transmitted within the tension between h…
