Paul Philippis’ theology of ‘Christocentric diaconia’ shows the historical conditions and wrong decisions of the history of diaconia and takes a look ahead: ‘Who wants to talk about diaconia in the right way, must talk about the right congregation.’ In a time of identity crisis of the church Philippi points to the congregation as a body of action and therewith also to a Protestant anthropology of self-consciousness (and thus Christ-consciousness): What can and may the human person be for himself and for his neighbour? The contributions – lectures, theses, sermons and personal texts – stand in the tradition of Lutheranism: contemporary, committed, practical.
