Perspective of our partner churches and partner organizations in Africa,

Laying the foundations for peace. Interreligious peacebuilding is
at Mission 21, an area of activity of the programs abroad as well as
educational work in Germany. Based on a pluralistic understanding of religion, we promote respectful transcultural and interreligious dialog as the basis for peaceful coexistence. In our educational work, we facilitate encounters between people of different cultural backgrounds and religious orientations. Mutual learning is the basis for peace processes.
Religion and development
Can religion support development? For a long time, there was a lot of skepticism.
Religions tended to be seen as conservative and inhibiting progress. These
This view has been changing for around 20 years. Even secular actors recognize that international cooperation without taking religion into account fails to achieve its goals if religion is an integral part of everyday life in a society. Including religion (as a conviction, affiliation, community) utilizes existing potentials: trust and basic networks.
Our courses take a critical look at the history of missions and
discuss how religions can make an effective contribution to peaceful, just and inclusive societies.
Spirituality worldwide
Spirituality plays a major role in many cultures and religions in order to
to concentrate and orientate oneself in order to process experiences
and give depth to life. The understanding of spiritual questions in
other cultural contexts can give us new impetus here. What
we Europeans* can exchange ideas with our partners* in
Africa, Asia and Latin America?
