Munich to Host Germany’s Second Ecumenical Kirchentag in 2010
The second ecumenical “Kirchentag” - German Protestant Church Convention will take place in 2010 in Munich, Germany. The convention’s executive committee and the assembly of the Central Committee of German Catholics decided on the event’s venue at their end of April meetings in Fulda and Bonn. Both bodies based their decision on the expectation that “the local host churches would jointly submit an invitation to host the event, and that the financial conditions for such an undertaking would be fulfilled.” The exact dates for the second large joint event of Christian lay organizations in Germany and the finer details about its planning are yet to be clarified. The first ecumenical Kirchentag took place from 28 May to 1 June 2003 in Berlin under the theme, “You Shall Be a Blessing,” and was attended by over 200,000 people. (142 words)
