English summary: The musical roots of Jazz have a certain closeness to Christian religious practice. Accordingly jazz musicians have repeatedly integrated spiritual aspects and personal experiences of faith into their music. But only in recent years church buildings in this country have become new places of jazz. Against the background of this development the contributions of this volume intend to explore the specific features of this musical practice and to analyse to what extent jazz and church inspire each other. How do the interiors of churches influence the sonic language of jazz? What kind of theological stimuli can a musical practice possibly provide which emphasizes improvisation, interaction, and performance? And what can worship learn from jazz? German description: Von seinen musikalischen Ursprungen her besitzt Jazz eine Nahe zur christlich-religiosen Praxis. Entsprechend haben Jazzmusiker immer wieder spirituelle Aspekte und personliche Glaubenserfahrungen mit ihrer Musik verbunden. Doch erst seit einigen Jahren werden Kirchen auch hierzulande zu neuen Orten des Jazz. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Entwicklung zielen die einzelnen Beitrage darauf, das Besondere dieser musikalische Praxis zu erkunden und zu untersuchen, inwiefern Jazz und Kirche einander inspirieren. Wie beeinflussen Kirchenraume die Klangsprache des Jazz? Welche theologischen Anregungen stecken in dieser musikalischen Praxis, die Improvisation, Interaktion und Performance betont? Und was kann der Gottesdienst vom Jazz lernen?
