Kirche, Geld und Seelenheil

Abstract

Die Kirchen in Deutschland werden in diesem Essay als Multiproduktunternehmen analysiert, die sich in einer Krise befinden: die Kunden laufen weg, die Kirchensteuereinnahmen sinken. Ausgehend von der Idee, daß das Heilsversprechen ein knappes Gut ist, wird eine Empfehlung an die Kirchen entwickelt, sich nicht in der Konkurrenz zu sozialen Diensten aufzureiben. Die Konzentration auf ihre Kernkompetenz - die Produktion des Heilsversprechens - dürfte sie aus ihrer problematischen Situation herausführen.
