A five-session winter study circle at Stefanskirken in Copenhagen, built around Hal Koch's small classic from 1945, What Is Democracy? Koch, a theologian and church historian who became a key voice in the resistance to Nazism during the German occupation, argues that democracy is not merely a form of government but a way of life. The circle asks what it means to live together, what binds us as people, and how culture, Christianity and democracy connect.
The series opens with a public lecture by a guest expert, followed by four study evenings in which the book is read and discussed chapter by chapter, ending with a shared wrap-up. Participants should be prepared to read the book beforehand, as each evening covers a set section of text.
