Abstract

EURICH, Johannes. Between Christian love and professional orientation: Reflections on the double bind code of Christian social workers (deaconesses and deacons) in Germany. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2017, vol.73, n.2, pp.1-7. ISSN 2072-8050.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.v73i2.4687.

This article highlights the challenges and opportunities of Christian social workers in the tradition of deaconesses and deacons in today's Germany. Their professional self-conception as social workers between church and society is analysed. By this, a new approach of linking up a theological perspective with diaconal professionalism, is presented.
