Tell us about tomorrow – a reconciled tomorrow Our society has been deeply divided for many years; with every new crisis, political camps form that not only see each other as opponents, but in some places even act hostilely towards each other. This polarization does not bode well for the future of our community. Do we have the chance, do we have the will and the imagination to overcome this confrontation? We are currently debating the issue of coming to terms with the political decisions made during the coronavirus pandemic, which has contributed a great deal to the polarization. Can there be a kind of “reconciliation” with each other? A reconciliation that points to the future? Conversations, rituals that go beyond apportioning blame for wrong actions and demands for apologies – a coming together of “listening hearts” (Helmut Rosa) Or in the words of the song: “Like a celebration after long mourning, like a fire in the night, an open gate in a wall, opened for the sun. Like a letter after a long silence, like an unexpected greeting, like a leaf on dead branches, an “I like you anyway” kiss – that’s what reconciliation is like, that’s what true peace must be like. This is reconciliation. This is forgiveness and forgiveness”….. We want to reflect with you on the idea of reconciliation. We would like to cordially invite you all to do so.
