Conviviality - inspiration for a Diaconal Church

Welcome to this learning program focusing on “convivial life in diversity” as an inspiration for a diaconal church. 
A writing group, primarily consisting of practitioners from across Europe, has developed this program.
The purpose of this learning program is to create processes which support convivial life together, creating a convivial church and diakonia. It is well intended for congregational groups, diaconal workers, and leaders of church and diakonia. 
This learning program is based on experience, seeking conviviality as a core idea, reflection on everyday life and practice and working on personal change and change in church, diakonia and society. 
The main purpose of ‘Conviviality – diaconal life in diversity’ is also to inspire a new practice of everyday life and diakonia; to support a new understanding of what it means to be a diaconal church and work out the implications for professional diaconal workers and their organizations. 
The purpose is also to ensure that the learning program is open to surprise and innovation.
