Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany –
Centre for Global Ministries and Ecumenical Relations
The Centre for Global Ministries and Ecumenical Relations
shapes and supports the relationships of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in Northern Germany to churches and
non-governmental organisations in Africa, Asia, the Middle
East, the Pacific, the Americas and Europe. Together with
global partners the Centre is comitted to the Gospel of
Jesus Christ and stands up for justice, peace and integrity
of creation.
In collaboration with its partners the Centre for Global
Ministries and Ecumenical Relations is getting involved for
joint issues and concerns. It supports religious, social, medi-
cal and educational projects in its partner countries. Due to
the global exchange and encounters between people across
cultural and religious boundaries, skills are shared between
all participants.
Cooperating with others, the Centre for Global Ministries
and Ecumenical Relations supports global learning within
the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany. It
supports and qualifies international partnership groups,
communities and church districts. It offers lectures, semi-
nars, conferences, workshops, projects with schools, exhibi-
tions and consulting services.

CONNECTING PEOPLE We offer room for international en-
counters where people can get to know one another and
learn from each other. We help people to become aware that
we all depend on each other.
TAKING UP A STANCE We are committed to justice, the
respect for human rights and solidarity in lifestyle. We are
committed to ensuring that women, men and children can
live in dignity and freedom. We support people and groups
that stand up for reconciliation and the integrity of creation.
LIVING FAITH Mission, to us, means to tell about what
inspires us and what we believe in. We take up spiritual and
theological ideas from intercultural and international en-
counters within the global community and pass them on to
others.
OPENING NEW HORIZONS Breaking through geographical,
cultural and religious boundaries enables a change of
perspective. We want to make the situation our partners live
in visible. We also want to show the richness of global
ecumenism.
BUILDING A FUTURE We raise awareness through education.
We offer information and advice for church groups and
non-religious organisations and institutions. Our concern is
to reflect one’s own lifestyle and to shape it in a sustainable
way. We support the commitment of people worldwide who
work towards a positive future.

International Relations
6
In the Centre for Global Ministries and Ecumenical Relations the
various desks work together with churches, ecumenical institu-
tions and non-governmental organisations in Africa, Asia, the
Middle East, Europe, America and the Pacific.
Together with its partners, the Centre for Global Ministries and
Ecumenical Relations works towards the strengthening of the
worldwide network of churches. It also sets content related
impulses. Together, they develop and represent positions for
theological and development policy issues. They coordinate and
shape ecumenical partnerships through encounters, exchange
of personnel and financial support, including donations. They
develop and promote projects in order to eliminate poverty.
They also encourage climate justice, education, health care and
the work of women‘s and youth groups.
The various desks are the points of contact for the partner
churches and the people within the Evangelical Lutheran Church
in Northern Germany who are engaged in a partnership group or
work within the field of global ecumenism. Professionals and
volunteers within this line of work receive specialized informati-
on, background knowledge, intercultural training, advice and
guidance. Ecumenical co-workers from the partner countries
and our own church work in institutions and projects within the
personnel exchange. These ecumenical coworkers are placed
by and supported by the Centre for Global Ministries and
Ecumenical Relations.

Mauro Souza, Reverend of the Evangelical Church of the Luthe-ran Confession in Brazil (IELCB):
“Partnership builds global solidarity. It enriches and fills the life and work of the partners. It enables the exchange of know-ledge, experience, vi-sions and expressions of spirituality.“
Dr. John Oommen, Me-dical Doctor in Bissam-cuttack/Odisha, India: „Mission is an attitude.“

Dr. Klaus Schäfer, Director of the Centre for Global Ministries and Ecumenical Relations:
“Mission means that the church is not self-centred, but is searching for a place in the middle of the longings, needs, conflicts and sufferings of the people. Mission is to follow the path of God into the world and to live in solidarity and community. What mission stands for exactly cannot be sum-med up in a formula, but depends on the situation people are living in. Therefore, mission is an invi-tation to believe in Jesus Christ and to talk about the meaning of life. At the same time mission is commitment to liberation, justice and respect for human rights. Thus, a vibrant and lively mission will always initiate critical impulses.”
Gugu Elizabeth Shelembe, regional leader of the Church of KwaZulu Natal/South Africa for networks and alliances:
“Partnership provides spaces for mutual learning and challenges all participants to think beyond their own horizon. Therefore, partnership should especially discover and appreciate the difference of both partners. When they get involved and committed to a common goal, it is easy to understand the other‘s point of view. Through partnership we can create unity amidst diversity and face global challenges together.”
Eberhard von der Heyde, Head of Department of Ecumenical Relations and Deputy Director of the Centre for Global Ministries
and Ecumenical Relations:
“Partnership is a fel-lowship in learning.”

Interreligious Dialogue

12
Interreligious dialogue is inspired by the certainty that the
respect for the unknown and the learning from and with
each other are the base for a peaceful coexistence of the
religious communities. The desks for Christian-Jewish and
Christian-Muslim dialogue support relations between the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany and
Jewish and Muslim parishes and organisations. They
provide information about Jewish life, Christianity and the
Islam. Encounters with Jews and Muslims enable interreli-
gious dialogue. They also help to develop intercultural
sensitivity and competency.
The desks for Christian-Jewish and Christian-Muslim
dialogue initiate and support interreligious education and
exchange projects. They cooperate with numerous church
and non-church institutions and organisations.
They also provide contact information for Jewish and
Muslim speakers and communities, offer advice for events
and provide information and materials.

Centres of Muslim Life: Flens-burg, Kiel, Rendsburg, Neumüns-ter, Lübeck, Hamburg, Rostock, Schwerin, Greifswald
14
Dr. Detlef Görrig, Desk for Christian-Muslim Dialogue:
“Interreligious dialogue is not a
method but an attitude that
signals: I have respect for your
traditions of faith, I have questi-
ons, I’m curious to hear from you
and willing to learn from you.”
Dr. Walter Rothschild, Rabbi:
“For us Jews monothe-
ism means that the One
God created all mankind,
hence diversity is a part
of the divine plan of
creation.”
Abu Ahmed Jakobi, Imam and Head of the Interreligious Committee of the Schura Hamburg e.V.:
“Dialogue is not something
abstract, but an encounter bet-
ween two people who have
different beliefs. Dialogue enables
me to look at my own faith from
his or her perspective.”
Hanna Lehming, Desk for Jewish-Christian Dialogue:
“I would speak of a dialogue when two
different partners, who have an interest in
one another and respect for one another,
meet and exchange ideas. A dialogue is
about getting to know each other. A result
of dialogue is almost inevitably that both
partners learn more about themselves.
However, the Jewish-Christian relations
are often also about an “inner” dialogue of
Christianity with its origin in the scriptures
of the Old Testament and in ancient
Christianity.”15
Political Actions
16
Development policy education in the Centre for Global Mini-
stries and Ecumenical Relations aims to change processes in
our own church and society. As it is Christian responsibility,
global issues and impulses from international cooperation are
taken into account and are examined for their impact on our life
and work.
Through our educational programme we want to share our
knowledge about global connections and interdependences.
We encourage and empower people to actively shape the social
and political surroundings worldwide, aiming for more justice.
As part of our advocacy work, we and numerous political and
social stakeholders commit to a lifestyle of solidarity and
sustainability. We work for a fair distribution of power and
resources.
Together with the many initiatives and groups in the Evangelical
Lutheran Church of Northern Germany, we are dedicated to a
critical, self-critical and, if necessary, inconvenient resistance.
The desks “Human Rights and Migration,” “Theology and
Sustainability” as well as the “Information Centre for Climate
Justice” represent our current focus on global development
education.17
Martin Haasler, Desk for Papua New Guinea and the Pacific:
„The earth has no life-boats. The only thing that can save us from shipwreck is a changeof course.“
18
Dr. Miriam Freytag, Head of Department of Church Development
Service /Political Actions:
„With the term “development” we mean the process of liberation from poverty, hunger, di-sease and unjust power structures, which take away people’s dignity and refuse them access to vital resources. In order to understand and implement development in this way, dialogue is essential. This means: we must not talk about people but with them instead. These dialogues can empower people and lead to the readiness to improve one’s own situation. For us, these dialogues can motivate us to take action and initiate change in our own society.“
Eberhard von der Heyde, Head of Department of Ecumeni-cal Relations and Deputy Director of the Centre for Global Minis-tries and Ecumenical Relations:
“The logic behind action for justice becomes ap-parent when I start seeing the world through the eyes of the others.“

Scholar and Volunteer Programmes
20
The Centre for Global Ministries and Ecumenical Relations en-
ables young people, who have completed their schooling or an
apprenticeship, to make for three to twelve months experien-
ces in Asia, Africa, the Pacific, Europe or America. Within this
period of time the young people have the opportunity to work
with the partners of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Nort-
hern Germany and within their institutions.
The volunteers learn to view reality through someone else’s
eyes and to critically reflect on their own lifestyle and thought
patterns. In their projects abroad, the young people support
institutions and organisations that work towards better educa-
tion, village development, health care or protection of the
environment. During this time the volunteers acquire important
knowledge concerning developmental and intercultural issues
and church life. They learn to take a new perspective and to
stand up for solidarity and a just way of life after returning
home.

Liu Ruhong, employee of the „Amity Foundation“:
„The programme promotes the idea of learning through committed collective action. By helping others and by passing on their experi-ences and knowledge, the volun-teers themselves additionally gain knowledge and contribute their experiences to their home society.”

„The aim of the volunteers’ work is joint intercultural learning and mutual exchange. We also en-courage the volunteers to make efforts to improve justice and opportunities for the disadvan-taged. This is what the volun-teers strive for in their service.“

Ecumenical Education
24
The Centre for Global Ministries and Ecumenical Relations has
developed a wide range of educational offers. Their aim is to
convey issues related to mission and worldwide ecumenism
within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany.
As the founding place of the Breklum Mission, the parish of
Breklum has a history which is shaped by mission and ecumeni-
cal relations and testifies to them. Here in Breklum, the Centre
for Global Ministries and Ecumenical Relations, together with
other partners from church and state, is responsible for the
“Christian Jensen College”. The College is an ecumenical centre
that provides space for theological and spiritual impulses from
the worldwide ecumenical movement. Together with other
partners, the Centre for Global Ministries and Ecumenical
Relations promotes topics and initiatives from partner churches.
We also offer perspectives from society, politics and culture for
the discussion in church and theology. Our intention is to make
people aware of the worldwide responsibility of our faith and
actions.
Thereby the Centre for Global Ministries and Ecumenical
Relations understands education as an integral learning process
that shapes our personality and includes our faith. The field
“Ecumenical Spirituality” deals with faith and its forms of
expression in a wide ecumenical way. It offers, for example
through meditation and retreats, impulses and spaces of
experience for spirituality. The field “Ecumenical Learning’’
provides the opportunity to reflect topics of mission and the
ecumenical movement in many different ways and to make them
sensually perceivable.

zmann (Brazil)
25
Jutta Jessen-Thiesen, Desk for Ecumenical Spirituality in Breklum:
“The aim of all edu-cation is the devel-opment of one’s personality.”
26
Dr. Klaus Schäfer, Director of the Centre for Global
Ministries and Ecumenical Relations:
“Every parish and every church is only a province of worldwide Christianity. It has a call in its own surroundings, but knows itself also to be part of a wider Christian community. This ecumenical, cos-mopolitan vision is an essential as-pect of the Christian faith from its verybeginning.Ecumenism–thesearch of community in the One World–andmission–thesendingofthechurchintotheworld–be-long together. It is the common task of churches all over the world to proclaim the Gospel through words and deeds for the salvation of human kind.”
Christa Hunzinger, Europe Desk:
“Ecumenism–oikoumene–includesformethe contacts to Christian partners in other countries as well as to other denominations. I am happy that we have partners of different denominations within Europe: besides many Lutheran churches we also have Anglican partners in England and Russian Orthodox partners in St. Petersburg. To meet them and their forms of worship makes me realise completely different aspects of our com-mon faith which we often practise in differ-ent ways. And I have to ask myself time and again: What actually is specifically Lutheran? And what is part of my context, my country and my culture?”
