Areas of Interest
My research focuses on three themes:
1. Changing forms of the church (church and participatory society; shrinking churches; identity and change)
2. Practical ecclesiology and liturgy (empirical research regarding experiencing the practices in the church; connections between dogmatics, practical theology, and liturgy)
3. The pastor as minister (training to minister; demands from the field)
