Abstract Convening is a mode of practical theology inquiry that stages a counter-performance to the spectacle of prominent logics that order ecclesial life: brand Christianity, silos, and competition. Three parts organize this argument: Part I sets the stage with a preliminary portrait of convening, noting the contextual features of this inquiry. Part II introduces Augustine’s City of God as an interpretive lens to understand convening as a counter-performance to prominent spectacles on display. Part III redescribes convening by combining Augustine’s theological vision of spectacle, performance, latreia , and pilgrimage with the introductory portrait in order to perform what is possible when people of faith gather for collective inquiry.

On January 23rd, practical theologian Wilhelm Gräb of Humboldt University Berlin passed away. He would have been 75 this summer. Far from resting in his retirement from the Berlin Faculty of Theology, he stayed engaged in many projects even as an emeritus, because scholarship was his vocation. On March 21st 2020, he wrote to me, “I have been spared from Corona so far, but I am sorry to report to you that it has got me much worse.” Despite an aggressive form of cancer, he worked unabatedly in the field of Practical Theology – a Practical Theology which he shaped as an academic discipline, but also lived as a way of dialogue. Wilhelm Gräb was born on August 21st 1948 in Bad Säckingen in Baden, near the German-Swiss border, and was raised in a pastor’s household with an affinity for art and culture. He studied Protestant Theology at the Seminary (Kirchliche Hochschule) in Bethel and at the Faculties of Protestant Theology in Göttingen and Heidelberg. In 1979, he received his doctorate in Göttingen with a thesis on Friedrich Schleiermacher’s concept of humanity and history. Schleiermacher’s thoughts would have a strong influence on him for the rest of his life (Humanität und Christentumsgeschichte. Eine Untersuchung zum Geschichtsbegriff in Schleiermachers Spätwerk, Göttingen 1980). The Schleiermacher renaissance in Systematic and Practical Theology since the 1980 s owes essential impulses to Gräb. In 1996, together with Ulrich Barth and other companions and friends, Gräb founded the International Schleiermacher Society in Halle, serving on its board for many decades. From 1980–1988 he was assistant to religious educator Christoph Bizer in Göttingen. During this time, he wrote his habilitation on the concept of preaching (Predigt als Mitteilung des Glaubens. Studien zu einer prinzipiellen Homiletik in praktischer Absicht, Göttingen 1988). In this book, he developed an understanding of the practical task of preaching as the situational interpretation of a biblical text that releases its potential for meaning. A central insight of Gräb’s, which he made fruitful throughout his life, is that the concept of authority must be abandoned in favor of the question how religious communication can prove to be relevant. He explored this question in all practical
1月23日,柏林洪堡大学的实践神学家威廉·格拉布去世。今年夏天他可能已经75岁了。从柏林神学院退休后,他非但没有休息,甚至在退休时也参与了许多项目,因为奖学金是他的职业。2020年3月21日,他写信给我,“到目前为止,我没有受到科罗纳的影响,但我很抱歉向你报告,这让我变得更糟了。”尽管患有严重的癌症,他仍坚持不懈地在实践神学领域工作——他将实践神学塑造为一门学术学科,但也以对话的方式生活。威廉·格拉布于1948年8月21日出生于德国-瑞士边境附近的巴登的巴特塞金根,在一个热爱艺术和文化的牧师家庭长大。他在伯特利的神学院(Kirchliche Hochschule)以及哥廷根和海德堡的新教神学学院学习新教神学。1979年,他在哥廷根获得了博士学位,发表了一篇关于弗里德里希·施莱尔马赫的人性和历史概念的论文。Schleiermacher的思想将在他的余生中对他产生强烈的影响(Humanität und Christentumsgeschichte.Eine Untersuchung zum Geschichtsbegriff in Schleiermschers Spätwerk,Göttingen 1980)。自20世纪80年代以来,施莱尔马赫在系统神学和实践神学方面的复兴归功于格拉布。1996年,Gräb与Ulrich Barth和其他同伴和朋友一起在哈雷成立了国际施莱尔马赫协会,并在其董事会任职数十年。1980年至1988年,他在哥廷根担任宗教教育家Christoph Bizer的助理。在这段时间里,他写了一篇关于传教概念的文章(Predigt als Mitteilung des Glaubens.Studien zu einer prinzipielen Homiletik in praktischer Absicht,Göttingen 1988)。在这本书中,他理解了传教的实际任务,即对圣经文本的情境解读,释放其意义的潜力。Gräb的一个核心见解是,必须放弃权威的概念,转而考虑宗教交流如何被证明是相关的。他从实际出发探讨了这个问题
