Church education encompasses more than a traditional church tour. In addition to conveying historical and art-historical facts, church education primarily aims to facilitate the personal encounter of children, adolescents, and adults with the building, the space, and the furnishings of a church. The guiding principles include wholeness (seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, moving), staging and ritualization, as well as slowing down and deepening the experience. The handbook of church education summarizes insights and experiences gained from years of practical church education work. It offers a wealth of information, methodological and didactic suggestions, and concrete practical tips for successful church educational work in the community and school.
