Evangelium und Kirchengestalt

Why and to what extent is Protestant faith constituted in a church? What is the relationship between the a oeCommunion of Saintsa referred to in the Creed to the lived (or not lived) sociality of the Church? And if these questions give rise to tensions, how are these to be dealt with both theologically and in practical parish work? Luther, Troeltsch, Bonhoeffer and contemporary sociology are important reference points for the resultant interdisciplinary discussions.
