Theologie des Kampfes und befreiende Kirchenpraxis in den Philippinen

5.00 ECTS (4.00 SWS), SPL 1 - Katholische Theologie
Continuous assessment of course work

The Philippines are the only catholic country in South East Asia, the social and economic situation is similar to some south american countries. 60% of the population live below the poverty line. So significant parts of the catholic church take sides with the poor and marginalized: the option for the poor and the building of a "church of the poor" are official program of the Filipino catholic church. So the exposure group is setting out to experience the life of the poor and look at it from a theological point of view to find ways to build worldwide solidarity.
