Being (the Church) Beyond the South-North-divide

This book testifies to the fact that the embodiment of ideas of partnership can occur in many ways. Contributors from South Africa and Germany engage in a search for identities in othernesses and for common ground beyond the divide. Seventeen contributions address a variety of partnership-related issues, ranging from ecumenical hermeneutical foundations to practical applications.
