Faith, Conscience, and Justice in the Lecture Hall
This lecture opens a space for theological reflection and ethical responsibility. In the Forum Open Science of Bielefeld University, academic depth meets societal questions: When does mere inequality become an injustice that impacts human dignity?

An Evening for Theological Orientation
The lecture by Dr. Dr. Claudius Bachmann from Münster connects Catholic theology with social-ethical judgment. His academic background lies in Catholic theology, Christian social sciences, and economics; thus, he brings a well-founded perspective on social issues, justice, and responsibility into the discussion.

Inequality in Light of Christian Social Ethics
The focus is on a theological-ethical relationship determination, which is the careful question of how social differences can be morally assessed. The topic touches on income, health, participation, politics, economy, and law. Here, a faith experience unfolds that does not remain silent but stimulates responsible judgment formation in the spiritual community.
