Theology Prize 2023 for outstanding high school theses
Every year, the Faculties of Theology of the Universities of Basel, Bern, and Zürich award a prize for an outstanding high school thesis (Maturaarbeit) from the fields of Religion, Ethics, and Theology. This year, the prize went to Veronica Stalder (Kantonsschule Wettingen). Congratulations!
In her high school thesis on «The Role of Women in the Catholic Church», Veronica Stalder from Bergdietikon (Canton of Aargau) addresses the current role and possibilities of women in the Catholic Church in German-speaking Europe. She analyzes, for example, the catholic image of humanity on the basis of the catechism of the Catholic Church, and also interrogates the New Tesament writings of Romans, Mark, and the Pastoral Epistles with respect to their conceptions of the position of women in the Church.
