His academic focus is on dogmatics, ethics, and ecclesiology, particularly with regard to ecclesiastical and civil society transformation processes. He has published numerous academic books and essays, including on issues of church identity, applied ethics, ecumenical understanding, and the role of theology in democracy education. He is also a member of various theological associations and church committees at the EKD and VELKD levels.
Marion Koch M. A.
studied art education and art in Heidelberg (teaching degree) as well as European art history, classical archaeology, and philosophy in Heidelberg, Rome, and Hamburg (M. A.). Works as a freelance art historian, art educator, and curator at various museums, including the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the Bucerius Kunst Forum Hamburg, and the Kunsthalle Bremen, as well as an education officer. Since 2010 she has been moderating the event series Art in Interreligious Dialogue, to which representatives of various religious traditions are invited to the museum.
Her work is based on a dialogical approach to art education that enables multi-perspective approaches to art. Another focus is on interdisciplinary projects. To this end, she develops educational programs for schoolchildren and students, such as Art Meets Literature, Education Before Pictures: Art + Music, and CHANGE OF PERSPECTIVE: Interreligious Discussions on Art.
