Bibelorientierte Kirchenpädagogik in einer pluralen Kirche und Gesellschaft

In order to enable the children, teenagers and adults, of a pluralistic society to make both an emotional and an intellectual connection with church buildings as inspiring signs of Christian and biblical faith in the past and for the present, religious education in cathedrals and churches needs a pedagogy which can adapt to a wide range of audiences. Birgit Sendler-Koschels proposal for religious education in churches draws on semiotic theories to develop a theological and pedagogical approach to religious teaching which helps to provide meaning giving and knowledge of the biblical tradition in learning about and through church buildings. Because of their particular character as places for communicating the Gospel in an ever changing social context church buildings are particularly promising places for discovering the biblical tradition for the purposes of elementary, school and adult education as well as tourism.
