Mission and statute

The EAA was found by the EKHN in 1946 in response to the break with civilisation caused by the Nazism. It is an independent place of dialogue and civilized argument in the Federal Republic of Germany.

The EAA contributes to religious, cultural and sociopolitical discussions. It particularly picks up questions that result from the complexity of urbane living.

In these dialogues the EAA is bound to the story between God and men that is described in the bible and it updates the jewish and christian-protestant tradition:
God searches men, delivers his good message and encourages them to live.

The EAA enables people involved in the educational process to enhance their social-ethical power of judgement, professional decision-making and responsibility and cultural perception.

The EAA is a platform of exchange, laboratory for political concepts, promoter for social innovations and shows therein Christian thinking. With it’s experiences and offers it participates in structuring the success of the church’s public mission.
