Contact 86Welcome 7 Dear Kirchentag participants, A warm welcome to the 37th German Protestant Kirchentag in Dort- mund 2019. Your expectations, your joyful anticipation and your confidence have been an inspiration to the whole Kirchentag Team. And now you are here! You are browsing through the programme and discovering things that may be familiar, surprising, inspiring or important. You can either search specifically for the things you are hoping to find or let yourself drift through at random. Trust yourself to discover things that at first may seem strange or unfamiliar. You can have confidence in all of the many events that are waiting for you! Dortmund is looking forward to seeing you. The city and the Evangelical Church of Westphalia have both been waiting a long time for a Kirchen- tag. Dortmund itself has only hosted the Kirchentag once before, in 1963. Then in 1991 Dortmund was part of the Kirchentag in the Ruhr. Now at last it is here again. This is a place of transformation, full of “true love” (the slogan of Borussia Dortmund!) which has been making lots of preparations to welcome you. There many participatory activities on offer, especially with regional projects for sport and transformation. Every Kirchentag has a common thread running through it: this year the focus is on migration, integra- tion and recognition. Plenty of other things are also dear to our hearts. “What confidence is this” – the theme has been a key part of our pre- parations. At so many levels trust and confidence seem to have been lost, or deliberately misused, or undermined. Familiar sets of rules and hitherto trustworthy institutions and systems have been called into question, and the future looks confusing. What should we do, how should we respond, how can we be actively involved in shaping our world, and not just react to things or blank out what is difficult and challenging? We will try to answer these questions in Dortmund at this Kirchentag, where the challenges are right on our doorstep. At the same time, the oppor- tunities are evident. Together let us search for answers – and find them. What confidence is this – shouldn’t this end with an exclamation mark or a question mark? The biblical story in the Second Book of Kings keeps the ambivalence open. It keeps the idea of confidence open. It is a war-time story with no simple solution. Realistic and inconclusive. King Hezekiah can only lose, his opponent has the upper hand, his coalition partners either self-serving or weak, his people no longer knowing what to believe and he himself very insecure. Yet one thing he does know: God is faithful and God will point the way. He holds firmly to this and it changes everything. We can also have hope and confidence that this change will happen – at and through this Kirchentag. May this be a place of transformation and the Good News. We wish you all a wonderful Kirchentag. With warm wishes Prof. Dr. Julia Helmke General Secretary of the German Protestant Kirchentag
8 Introduction
This booklet includes practical information and gives details of events
of particular interest to international visitors. It would be impossible
to translate the whole programme book, but we draw attention here
to sessions with:
• International speakers
• Interpretation into English (from German and other languages)
• In English
• Other major events of particular significance or interest.
Events with interpretation
The Kirchentag provides simultaneous interpretation at some events.
These are listed in this booklet with special symbols as shown on
page p 12. Please allow enough time before the session begins to collect
your headphones. You will be asked to leave your Kirchentag admission
pass as a deposit for headphones. If you want to attend an event without
interpretation you can ask at the International Centre for a volunteer
language steward to go with you. They do not give a full simultaneous
translation but will give you a summary of what is said.
International Centre (Internationales Zentrum/IZ)
The International Centre (IZ) is open from Tuesday 18 June to Saturday
22 June from 09.00–20.00 and is the meeting point for international
participants and their hosts. The IZ team is available throughout the
Kirchentag to offer help with any questions or problems in a variety of
languages. There is also a cafe where you can take a break and meet
up with other participants and with the members of the International
Committee of the Kirchentag. Other services offered at the IZ include
daily prayers in different languages and rooms for discussion or
meetings. The IZ is located at:
M Kongresszentrum, EG, Number One, Bereich Westfalenhallen,
Innenstadt-West (634 • E3)
Tel: +49 231 99768-515
E-Mail international@kirchentag.de
International Reception Desk (Teilnehmendenservice Ausland) This is
where international visitors need to go for their Kirchentag pass, pro-
gramme folder, and information about accommodation if not received
in advance. The International Reception Desk is open from Tuesday 18
June to Saturday 22 June from 08.00–23.00 and is located at:
M Kongresszentrum, EG, Number One, Bereich Westfalenhallen,
Innenstadt-West (634 • E3)
International welcome and information session

Innenstadt-West (464 • a2)Introduction 9 Changes to the programme The Kirchentag is such a big event that it is impossible to avoid some last-minute changes to the programme. Updates are available during the Kirchentag itself: • at the International Centre and International Reception Desk • in the daily Kirchentag newspaper (German only) • on the Kirchentag website www.kirchentag.de (German only) • on the Kirchentag-app (German only) Hall full (Halle überfüllt) There will be times when the venues are full to capacity and people have to be turned away for health and safety reasons. Even if there appears to be some space left, please respect the Halle überfüllt signs and understand why you are turned away by the stewards. This is the only way to ensure the smooth and safe running of all the events at the Kirchentag. Thank you. Stewards Around 5,000 stewards work at the Kirchentag, taking responsibility for events. These volunteers, mostly young people from church youth organisations and scout groups, are easily recognisable by their colourful Ich helfe scarves. They help to prepare venues, give information, keep order, distribute headsets and much more, doing work which would otherwise have to be done by paid staff. Sometimes stewards find themselves under pressure in difficult situations, such as when they have to refuse entry to events that are full, or when they are in charge of left luggage. They need the support of Kirchentag visitors and appreciation for the service they give. Environment The Kirchentag seeks to be the most environmentally-friendly large event of its kind and has held the European EMAS certificate for over ten years. The aim is to do everything possible to reduce energy con- sumption and to be careful with precious resources like water and food. As Kirchentag participants you are asked to play your part, for instance using public transport or bicycles. Please avoid unnecessary waste and sort your rubbish into the right bins. See also “Meals / Glass restaurant” and “Organic food market” in the A to Z section. Bible studies Every day has its own Bible text, related to the theme. People from all walks of life interpret the Bible, often relating the texts to their own life and work. Bible studies are a key part of the Kirchentag and no other events go on at the same time. Celebratory communion services (Feierabendmahl) The celebratory communion service has taken place on the Friday evening at the Kirchentag for over thirty years. Hosts and guests come together and celebrate a special communion service, get to know each other and exchange experiences.
10 Introduction
Community singing with the Kirchentag song book
Take an active break at lunchtime: breathe deeply and sing. It will do
wonders for your voice, mind and heart. Singing is led by musicians,
choirs and bands. Explore the hidden depths of the song book.
Daytime prayers
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday there are prayers in the morning,
midday and evening. These happen at various venues and also in
local parishes around the city. This provides the liturgical heartbeat
of the Kirchentag and is an opportunity to take a regular break for
contemplation.
Market of opportunities
The market of opportunities is at the heart of the Kirchentag and over
the years has developed into a vital meeting place for groups working
in church and society. Around 800 groups present their projects, both
large and small. Here you will find information as well as opportunities
for discussion, networking and building new contacts. A map and the
topic areas are shown on page p 66.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday 10.30–18.30
Contributors (Mitwirkende)
About half of the Kirchentag participants are actively involved in m
aking
the programme happen: as planning groups, brass band players, s ingers
and speakers, in concerts, worship services, theatre and cabaret per-
formances and running stalls in the market of opportunities. Not only
Christians are invited to do this work, but also those from other religions
and none. All who care about society and dialogue are welcome.
Have your say – Kirchentag as a platform for discussion
Kirchentag participants are invited to have their say and express their
opinions. This can be done in the formal sessions via the spokespersons
for the audience, or directly using the hall microphones, by taking part
in live votes or through digital participation. You will find formats such
as simulation games, workshops, world cafés and ‘BarCamps’. The
Kirchentag also offers opportunities to participate on Facebook, Twitter
and Instagram. More information is given in the A-Z section under the
headings Website and Social Media.
Join in – everyone should be able to come
Accessibility is the key to wider participation. Everyone should be able
to attend. This includes people in wheelchairs, those with sensory im-
pairment or with learning difficulties, and anyone who faces obstacles to
their desire to participate. The Kirchentag seeks to be open for everyone,
diversity is an enrichment and a gift. This is one of the challenges of
inclusivity. Everyone should be accepted as an individual as part of the
whole community. The Kirchentag tries to set an example, enable all to
participate as fully and in as many places as possible.Focus 11 Focus on migration, integration, recognition Society and churches are becoming more diverse, with more and more people from different backgrounds and viewpoints. This represents a rich resource as well as a task for the coming years. The Kirchentag welcomes this development and is addressing the issue of migration. The Dortmund Kirchentag will therefore have a common thread of migration, integration and recognition running through the whole programme. The German idiom for such a recurring theme is “red thread” (Roter Faden), so these events are marked in red in the programme, under the heading “Focus on migration, integration, recognition” One of the main panels will mark the launch of the “red thread” focus: Belonging – what does it mean? Migration is when everyone has to move p 33 Rev Dr h.c. Annette Kurschus, Praeses of the Evangelical Church of Westphalia, supports and accompanies the focus on migration, integration, recognition.

Bible text for Bible study on Thursday
Job 2: 7–13
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and inflicted loath-
some sores on Job from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 8
Job took a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and sat among the
ashes. 9 Then his wife said to him, ‘Do you still persist in your integrity?
Curse God, and die.’ 10 But he said to her, ‘You speak as any foolish
woman would speak. Shall we receive the good at the hand of God, and
not receive the bad?’ In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all these troubles that had
come upon him, each of them set out from his home—Eliphaz the
Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They met
together to go and console and comfort him. 12 When they saw him
from a distance, they did not recognize him, and they raised their voices
and wept aloud; they tore their robes and threw dust in the air upon
their heads. 13 They sat with him on the ground for seven days and
seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his
suffering was very great.
Ecumenical service on Corpus Christi
2 Corinthians 1: 8–11
8 We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of the affliction
we experienced in Asia; for we were so utterly, unbearably crushed that
we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt that we had received the
sentence of death so that we would rely not on ourselves but on God
who raises the dead.
10 He who rescued us from so deadly a peril will continue to rescue
us; on him we have set our hope that he will rescue us again, 11 as you
also join in helping us by your prayers, so that many will give thanks on
our behalf for the blessing granted to us through the prayers of many.Bible Texts 15 Bible text for Bible study on Friday Genesis 22: 1–19 1 After these things God tested Abraham. He said to him, ‘Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ 2 He said, ‘Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt-offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you.’ 3So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; he cut the wood for the burnt-offering, and set out and went to the place in the distance that God had shown him. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place far away. 5 Then Abraham said to his young men, ‘Stay here with the donkey; the boy and I will go over there; we will worship, and then we will come back to you.’ 6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering and laid it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. 7 Isaac said to his father Abraham, ‘Father!’ And he said, ‘Here I am, my son.’ He said, ‘The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?’ 8 braham said, ‘God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son.’ So the two of them walked on together. 9 When they came to the place that God had shown him, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order. He bound his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. 11 But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, and said, ‘Abraham, Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ 12 He said, ‘Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.’ 13 And Abraham looked up and saw a ram, caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt-offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called that place ‘The Lord will provide’; as it is said to this day, ‘On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.’ 15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, 16 and said, ‘By myself I have sworn, says the Lord: Because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will indeed bless you, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of their enemies, 18 and by your offspring shall all the nations of the earth gain blessing for themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.’ 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham lived at Beer-sheba. Bible text for celebratory communion Mark 16: 14–15 14 Later he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were sitting at the table; and he upbraided them for their lack of faith and stubbornness, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. 15 And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.’
16 Bible Texts
Bible text for Bible study on Saturday
Luke 7: 36–50
36 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him, and he went into
the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table. 37 And a woman
in the city, who was a sinner, having learned that he was eating in the
Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment. 38 She stood
behind him at his feet, weeping, and began to bathe his feet with her
tears and to dry them with her hair. Then she continued kissing his feet
and anointing them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who
had invited him saw it, he said to himself, ‘If this man were a prophet, he
would have known who and what kind of woman this is who is touching
him—that she is a sinner.’ 40 Jesus spoke up and said to him, ‘Simon, I
have something to say to you.’ ‘Teacher,’ he replied, ‘speak.’ 41 ‘A certain
creditor had two debtors; one owed five hundred denarii, and the other
fifty. 42 When they could not pay, he cancelled the debts for both of
them. Now which of them will love him more?’ 43 Simon answered, ‘I
suppose the one for whom he cancelled the greater debt.’ And Jesus
said to him, ‘You have judged rightly.’ 44 Then turning towards the wo-
man, he said to Simon, ‘Do you see this woman? I entered your house;
you gave me no water for my feet, but she has bathed my feet with her
tears and dried them with her hair. 45 You gave me no kiss, but from
the time I came in she has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not
anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which were many, have been forgiven;
hence she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven,
loves little.’ 48 Then he said to her, ‘Your sins are forgiven.’ 49 But those
who were at the table with him began to say among themselves, ‘Who is
this who even forgives sins?’ 50 And he said to the woman, ‘Your faith
has saved you; go in peace.’Bible Texts 17 Bible text for the closing service Hebrews 10: 35–36 35 Do not, therefore, abandon that confidence of yours; it brings a great reward. 36 For you need endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. Kirchentag Psalm Psalm 23 A Psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; 3 he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.

Opening Service
Refugee work of the Waldensians in Sicily
Centro Diaconale ‘La Noce’
For many years, the Waldensian Church in Sicily has been supporting
refugees in their congregation in Palermo. The diaconal centre ‘La
Noce’ and the school of Italian as a foreign language at the University
of Palermo (ItaStra) have been working together since 2011 to help
immigrants integrate. They get to know Italian culture and the country
by learning Italian, through events, exhibitions, drama groups, writing
groups and other activities. Your donation to this project will go directly
to the recipients in Italy.
Supporting Protestant schools in Syria and schools for Syrian refugees
in Lebanon
Gustav-Adolf-Werk

donors, been supporting Protestant communities in Syria. Gustav-Adolf-
Werk contributes humanitarian aid, helps with the reconstruction of
destroyed churches and supports communities who are trying to keep
their schools open. This aid has an impact that goes beyond denomi-

Operation Moonbird
Sea-Watch
Sea-Watch is dedicated to emergency rescue at sea. Since 2015, the
charity has helped save over 35,000 lives in the Mediterranean. People
flee to Europe in the hope of safe passage at sea. Sea-Watch believes
that rescue at sea is a humanitarian duty. The reconnaissance aircraft
Moonbird makes a crucial contribution to this effort. It flies over the huge
sea area to discover maritime emergencies. Since April 2017, this has
helped to save the lives of thousands of people who otherwise would
hardly have had a chance of survival.
Ethiopia: integration of refugees through good harvests
Bread for the World
People from South Sudan are fleeing civil war to the Gambela region
in Ethiopia. There they encounter people who themselves fled years
ago and have now returned home. The Ethiopian Evangelical Church
Mekane Yesus helps both groups to plant vegetables, keep goats and
live peacefully together. The Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus
supports the families with a better harvest and new farming methods.
Now, instead of one meal, they can eat three meals a day.

Steinwache
The Steinwache police prison in Dortmund is heavy
with memories of National Socialism. A memorial has
been placed at the front as a reminder of the crimes
of the ‘National Socialist Underground’ (NSU), as well
as of the murder of Mehmet Kubasik. Never forgetting,
but learning, looking carefully, taking a stand. That is
the heritage and the responsibility of the Kirchentag.
