Student congregations are congregations on a temporary basis and at a different location. The manual describes the various expressions of life in Protestant university work in concise and informative articles. In the four main parts Basics - Fields of Work - Topics - Perspectives, historical, theological and legal insights are shown alongside the current opportunities and challenges of this church work area. These include Contributions to participation and leadership, to the university as a sphere of action, pastoral care, shaping spiritual life, to ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, internationality and insights into practical community work. The book makes it clear that the fields of work have increasingly differentiated. Innovative concepts can often be tested and implemented more easily than elsewhere. With their renewal potential, student communities represent a creative community of young adults.
