OUR SPONSORS


The ERF was founded as an interdisciplinary group of young scholars in the field of ecumenism and mission studies. It has no status as a registered association and is dependent on sponsors. Because the annual meetings are prepared in voluntary work the costs can be kept low.

 

The annual meetings have been able to take place thanks to donations from different (regional) churches and institutions.

 

In 2025 the ERF was sponsored by

 

Ecumenical Theological Education (World Council of Churches)

Brot für die Welt

Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland

Erzbistum Hamburg

Ev.-luth. Landeskirche Hannovers 

Ev. Kirche in Hessen und Nassau

Ev.-luth. Kirche in Norddeutschland 

Ev. Kirche im Rheinland

Ev. Kirche in Mitteldeutschland

Ev. Kirche von Westfalen

 

The Mission Academy of the University of Hamburg accomodates, supports and goes the way with the ERF in a very generous way since 1999.
