He examines spaces and places with “disclosure potential”, transformation processes in Christian communities and pastoral services in the modern age and theological references in social contexts. He is particularly concerned with the pastoral care of gainful employment and the pastoral care of migrants. He deals with practical ecumenism with a focus on Eastern Church Studies . Further topics are the competence orientation in religious education, penance pastoral and so-called “indicative sermon” as places of the experience of faith.
