The initiative “fairlangen.org – fair leben in Erlangen” (fair living in Erlangen)
campaigns for global justice. Its activities are based on a holistic understanding of
mission. Through networking, fostering public relations, educational work and
specific campaigns, the initiative supports local commitment to global justice. Its
main focus is the promotion of fair consumer behaviour.
This MTh dissertation offers a missiological reflection of the initiative
fairlangen.org, which is the author‘s action research project. Firstly, it establishes
the missiological grounds on which local commitment for global justice can be
understood as a part of holistic mission. This is concretised by actions to promote
fair consumer behaviour, with an emphasis on Fair Trade. On this basis, the specific
segment of fairlangen's practical activities are analysed using qualitative methods,
and reflected upon in missiological terms.
This study concludes by giving new impulses to other missionary projects that
are planning to campaign for global justice. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. TH. (Missiology)
