Personal profile
Research
I am a doctoral student in Global Christianity and Interreligious Relations. My main subjects are systematic and ecumenical theology with a focus on ecumenical ecclesiology and the theology of the laity. In my dissertation, I study the notion of unity in the early work of Chiara Lubich, the founder of the ecumenically oriented Focolare Movement.
