Hope and reversal: EKD bishop calls for action!

Hannover, Deutschland - Hannover (ots)

A call for hope from the highest church circles: Bishop Kirsten Fehrs, the chairwoman of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD), speaks a clear message to the population on the day of his penance and bed: In the middle of crises and political uncertainty, it is crucial not to lose hope. "This day is an invitation to pause and question the direction," explains Fehrs. She emphasizes that it is now time to rethink and reorient paths in order to promote more humanity and mindfulness.

Fehrs emphasizes that each individual can make a change, be it in the family environment or in dealing with stressed or refugee people. "It doesn't take much to make a big difference," she says. The penitimate day is described as a valuable opportunity to come from "thinking into action" and to work together for a more human cooperation. An urgent call that seems all the more important in the current political uncertainty.

tradition meets modern

The day of penance and bed has a long tradition, first in 1532 officially introduced in Strasbourg. Although he was deleted in many federal states in 1995 as a holiday -free holiday, it remains an integral part of church life and is considered important by many. With the topic campaign "Hopefully", several Protestant regional churches are calling hope to deal with the central topic. A strong sign of connection and coexistence in a day that invites you to pause and think about your own role in society.
