Current research
Pastoral care and shame. Based on a distinction between shame, shamefulness and shamelessness, I investigate how pastors can take care of the shame that occurs - or fails to occur - in an existential conversation. I am engaged in an interdisciplinary research project on online pastoral care.
Primary fields of research
- Interdisciplinary theology.
- Practiced Reconciliation in Pastoral Care.
- Calling and pastoral supervision.
- The importance of religious dialogue for FBO emergency aid work.
- Catechesis and spiritual rearmament.
