From September 10th to 12th 2021 the joint conference of GwR and AKRK took place as a hybrid event after a break due to the pandemic. This was preceded by a joint conference of early career researchers. What does the so called loss of the center mean and how is it possible to narrow this narrative in the context of religious education? This was discussed lively and excitedly. However, these questions remained open till the end of the conference. Our review tried to bundle all the income of the conference to straighten out the discourse of narratives and to figure out central narratives of the conference itself. We created the text together and presented it alternately at the end of the conference. For this article we have retained the dialogic style and added references. In the following CH stands for Christian Höger and VU for Vera Uppenkamp.
