Centre for the Study of World Christianity and Religion
CWCR - Centre for the Study of World Christianity and Religion is the hub for the Ph.D. programme in Theology and Religion at VID. Approximately forty PhD students and fourteen academic staff members are employed or affiliated with the Centre, which is placed within the Faculty of Theology and Social Sciences.
In addition to hosting the Ph.D. programme in Theology and Religion, CWCR is a research centre on World Christianity, focusing on diverse expressions of the Christian faith globally and contextual theological developments. It also serves as a centre for examining how Christianity as a world religion interacts with other faiths. Issues related to indigeneity are especially significant, along with postcolonial perspectives on theology and religion.
