Judentum und Christentum haben ihre offiziell beauftragten Amtstrager, um die vielfaltigen Aufgaben der Gemeinschaft zu erfullen: zu sammeln und zu lehren, seelsorglich tatig zu sein und zu predigen, Gottesdienste zu leiten und Lebenshilfe zu geben, Rituale zu vollziehen am Beginn des Lebens, an dessen Ende und mitten im Leben, in religiosen Fragen zu entscheiden, administrativ tatig zu werden und vielleicht sogar ‛zwischen Himmel und Erde' zu vermitteln. Die konkreten Verwirklichungsformen und Funktionen des Amtes (und der Amtstrager) sind dabei einem standigen Wandel...

We are increasingly conscious of living in an era whose scale, dimensions and implications we do not fully comprehend. 'Interactivity', 'virtual reality' and 'global communications' are some of the most obvious dimensions of this new reality.
