Competences

Specific competences

The students become familiar with the specific teachings and practices of the Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Greek Catholic and Unitarian Churches. Furthermore, we investigate the traditional Neo-Protestant denominations (Baptist, Adventist, Pentecostal) and the already rooted and expanding communities (Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Faith's Church).

General competences

Extensive knowledge of the different denominations helps the students to dismantle certain prejudices, by measuring the weight and importance of shared Christian heritage, and at the same time developing their critical abilities, through which they can distinguish between truly important matters of faith and secondary or unimportant religious matters. In these courses and seminars, we strive for the authentic representation of a community by its own members. Thus, the courses serve to deepen ecumenical attitude and mutual respect of each other's values.
