At the Center for Faith & Society, we believe in the renewing power of the Gospel. Our aim is to contribute to the renewal of the Church and to strengthen Christian witness in today’s world.

We promote:

• The integration of vibrant spirituality, academic reflection, and the life of the Church.
• Committed Christian ways of living in the diverse contexts of the present.
• Constructive contributions to cultural renewal, presenting the Gospel in an appealing way to a broad audience.

Our guiding vision is the development of a hopeful, cross-denominational cultural witness for the 21st century.

Activities

To pursue this vision, we work on three levels: theological research and reflection, continuing education, and public engagement (particularly through media and communication).

Forum Faith & Society

We organize the ecumenical Forum Faith & Society, which attracts around 600 people annually from various church and academic backgrounds. The forum is held in collaboration with the Communauté de Taizé and takes place under the patronage of the Protestant Reformed Church of Switzerland (EKS), the Swiss Bishops' Conference (SBK), and the Association of Free Churches (Freikirchen.ch).

Cooperations

We are part of the Institute for Ecumenical Studies (ISO) at the Faculty of Theology in Fribourg and engage in diverse academic and ecclesial collaborations with other institutes and organizations. A list of further links can be found here.
