In Germany politicians, scholars of education and journalists plead for a new attention to (ethical) values ("Werte"). But there is no common sense, that theology should refer to values at all The author argues against Eberhard Jüngel and others), that christian freedom should be transformed to ethical values, that means to (ethical) goods, duties and views in order to become a "wertvolle Freiheit" (worthy fiefdom). Looking back to the history of educational science, one of the fundamental dimensions of education always was ethical education. Today such ethical education should concentrate at the practice of the different aspects of christian freedom: Beginning with the experiences of the gift of freedom and love, freedom needs promising visions of God's Kingdom and justice and must be trained as communicating and cooperative freedom in responsibility for each other. The methods of religious education in school and parish should consider all those dimensions of freedom. But first of all, the structures of educational institutions have to be in accordance to those visions of freedom.
