Abstract

Abstract In a qualitative study in 2012, Michael Ebertz and colleagues constructed characteristic types of processes of leaving the Roman Catholic Church in the Freiburg area of southern Germany. This article aims to replicate and supplement Ebertz’ findings through the analysis of problem-centered interviews of former Roman-Catholics in the north-western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. With one exception, the types of processes could be replicated, and four additional types were added. The results show that processes of leaving the church are diverse and in many cases result from a long and complex process.

重新审视离开教堂的过程。Ebertz关于教会离职者类型研究的复制件

在2012年的一项定性研究中，Michael Ebertz及其同事在德国南部弗莱堡地区构建了离开罗马天主教会的特征类型。本文旨在通过对德国西北部北莱茵-威斯特伐利亚州前罗马天主教徒问题中心访谈的分析，复制和补充Ebertz的发现。除了一个例外，可以复制流程类型，并添加了另外四种类型。结果表明，离开教堂的过程是多种多样的，在许多情况下，这是一个漫长而复杂的过程。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Practical Theology is an academic journal. It is intended for practical theologians and teachers of religious education, scientists specializing in religion, and representatives of other cultural-scientific disciplines. The aim of the journal is to promote an international and interdisciplinary dialogue. The journal contains contributions on an empirically descriptive and critically constructive theory of ecclesiastical and religious practice in society. Primarily, it deals with descriptions of religion as it is practised. Religion in this context can be understood in the broad sense of the word according to which all appreciative tendencies towards an ultimate view of oneself and of the world can be described as being religious.
