PRIEST SEMINARY
Stuttgart
„To seek for yourself,
Look out into the world.
To seek the world,
Look into yourself.“
Rudolf Steiner
THE SEMINAR AS A PRIEST TRAINING
The Course of Study at the Priest Seminary prepares students for the priest's ordination and for the profession of priesthood in a congregation of the Christian Community. The tasks of the priest are: the celebration of the Sacraments, the giving of pastoral or soul care and the proclamation of the teachings of Christianity.
THE SEMINAR AS A DEVELOPMENT OF THE HUMAN BEING
What does it mean to be a human being today, striving for freedom on the one hand, whilst at the same time also remaining awake to one's responsibility to the spiritual world? Studying at the Priest Seminary is also about living with such questions, regardless of which profession one eventually decides upon.
