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 HelmkeGeneral 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 interpretationThe 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 99768-515E-Mail [email protected]

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)

Changes to the programmeThe 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.

StewardsAround 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.

EnvironmentThe 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 studiesEvery 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 bookTake 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 prayersOn 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 Kirchen tag and is an opportunity to take a regular break for contemplation.

Market of opportunitiesThe 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 opportunitiesfor 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 making the programme happen: as planning groups, brass band players, singers 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 discussionKirchentag 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 comeAccessibility 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.

11FOCUS

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: 7–137 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: 8–118 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.

Genesis 22: 1–191 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.

Mark 16: 14–1514 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.’

Bible text for Bible study on Saturday

Luke 7: 36–5036 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.’

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.

Closing Service

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 harvestsBread for the WorldPeople 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.

MARKET OF OPPORTUNITIES

All of the areas are organised according to keywords and the different groups are listed alphabetically. Individual groups are listed first follo-wed by groups sharing a stand. The stand number will help you find what you are looking for: the number at the beginning refers to the hall number (e.g. 4) and the letter which follows it indicates the aisle (e.g. F) and the final two numbers are the “house number” of the individual stands (e.g. 22).

More information about stands is available in German only in the index of the programme book, in the online programme database or in the Kirchentag app.

Other events at the Market of Opportunities

As well as what individual stands have to offer, there are small scale events and activities at market squares (MarktPlätze) in the different exhibition areas. The small stages offer a series of 45-minute pro-grammes. MarketWorkshops lasting 90 minutes: for discussion and more concentrated work in themed tents within easy walking distance of the Market of Opportunities.

You can find details of both formats at the info booths in the Market of Opportunities and at the stands organising the different events. All of the info booths throughout the market will be happy to help you with further information as needed.

Closing serviceThe closing service with Holy Communion will take place on Sunday 23 June from 10.00 to 11.30 at two venues. One will be the family-friendly surroundings of the Westfalenpark on the grass in front of the Lake Stage (Seebühne) and the other the nearby football stadium at Signal Iduna Park. Entry is free. Tickets for the seating and standing areas in the stadium will be issued on the way in. Tickets for the disabled, for the brass band players and for English-speaking visitors will be issued in advance. There is no seating in the Westfalenpark, so you are advised to bring rugs to sit on.English speaking visitors: Tickets will be available for a section in the Signal Iduna Park stadium giving a view of English-language subtitles on the screen. These will be available from the International Centre. Gluten-free communion: is available at both services. At Signal Iduna Park this will be available on request at the entrances. At Westfalenpark, gluten-free bread will be available in designated places.


Arrival and departure: Because of the large numbers attending, you are advised to allow plenty of time and arrive early for the service. A pre-programme is provided from 9.00 onwards. You can also stay on afterwards for an after-programme, to reduce pressure on the exits. Both venues are within reach of public transport. There are some car parking spaces for people with disabilities, for which you will need to display a parking badge, available from the Accessible Kirchentag Centre. People with pushchairs and prams should go to Westfalenpark, as these cannot be taken into the Siguna Iduna Park. There is parking for buses at both venues, but you are advised not to come by car as parking is limited.Updates about the closing service in German will be on the website at p www.kirchentag.de/schlussgottesdienst.Luggage: No luggage or large rucksacks (30 litres or larger) are allowed in the venues (except musical instrument cases). Please leave them behind or use the left-luggage facilities. Even small rucksacks or carrier bags should be avoided if possible, to save time at the security checks at the entrance to the Signal Iduna Park. Glass bottles are not allowed.

Drinking waterPlease use your own water bottles that you have brought with you (no glass, please). Tap water is the safest, greenest and cheapest source of refreshment. The Kirchentag provides free drinking water at many venues. Drinking water dispensers are marked with a drinking water symbol on the Kirchentag town map and also on the Kirchentag app.

EnvironmentKirchentag is one of the most environmentally-friendly mega-events of its kind and has for ten years met the criteria for the European EMAS certificate. All participants play their part in minimising the impact of Kirchentag on the environment, for example by using public transport, walking or cycling to venues, carefully separating rubbish, and eating at the organic food market and the Glass Restaurant.

First Aid service (Sanitätsdienst)First Aid service at all the larger event venues is provided by the St John’s Emergency Service (Johanniter-Unfallhilfe) in co-operation with the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund, the German Red Cross, and the Maltese Aid Service.In an emergency, call the ambulance on telephone number 112.

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.


For many of the events you can get information about the spaces available before the start of the event on the Kirchentag app and the programme database, using the “traffic light” system:

Colour coding: Grey – no information availableGreen – plenty of places availableyellow – a few places availableRed – no places left. We recommend you go to a different Kirchentag event. A green or yellow traffic light does not guarantee that you will get a place; admittance is on a first come, first served basis. (see also – App)

Helpers and stewardsKirchentag stewards can be recognised by their colourful scarves which say “ich helfe” (see introduction).

International CentreThe International Centre (IZ) 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. Here you will also find the International Reception Desk (Teilnehmendenservice Ausland) where international visitors can get help with their registration, information about accom-modation, and pick up their Kirchentag passes and programme folders if not already sent.

Other services offered at the IZ include volunteer language stewards who will go with you to events with no interpretation. They do not give a full translation but will give you a summary of what is said. Daily prayers offered in different languages, rooms available for a group discussion or meeting.

Mobile phonesPlease make sure that you turn your mobiles to silent mode when attending any event.

PoliceDuring the Kirchentag the police can be contacted on the following telephone numbers:Emergencies: police Tel: 110General enquiries: Dortmund police Tel: +49 231 50–13247 (Wed 07.00 to Sun 13.00)Federal police (for incidents at the airport, or S-Bahn and mainline railway stations): free hotline Tel: +49 800 6888000

Posters and leafletsPlease note that there is a strict and total ban on putting up any kind of posters, notices or stickers at any of the Kirchentag sites. The cost of removing them is enormous and those responsible will be prosecuted. We ask for your understanding. Similarly, the unauthorised distribution of leaflets and advertising material is not permitted at Kirchentag sites.

Scarf In keeping with tradition, there is a special scarf for visitors to the 37th German Protestant Kirchentag in Dortmund. The green scarf is made of 100% certified organic cotton, in accordance with the FairTrade standards laid down by the FairWear Foundation and the Sedex Mem-bers Ethical Trade Audit. It is printed with the Kirchentag slogan “What confidence is this” (in German). The scarf is distributed in all sorts of places, including the K-I-T-S stands, in exchange for a recommended donation of €4.

SecurityThe security of all participants is paramount at Kirchentag. Working to-gether with the security and regulatory authorities, Kirchentag is putting in place a comprehensive security plan. This is constantly updated in accordance with the latest security situation. Please understand if safety precautions cause inconvenience and delay. Try and allow enough time for travel and then getting into particular events. You can also play your own part by taking simple precautions: protect yourself from the sun by staying in the shade or using a sunhat and drinking plenty of water (bring your own bottle – not glass); protect your valuables from pickpockets; follow the instructions of security officials; stay calm in threatening situations; pay attention to other participants as well as yourself.

Sexual assaultKirchentag should be a safe place for all participants. We can all play our part by keeping our eyes and ears open in order to discourage potential offenders and help keep the Kirchentag free of violence. In threatening situations or where a criminal offence is committed, you should call the police (emergency Tel 110). Pastoral support and counselling is available (in German) at the Centre for Psychological Counselling (Beratung und Seelsorge). Or you can ask for help in English or in your own language at the International Centre.


Simple German (Leichte Sprache)Not only people with learning difficulties find it easier to understand and participate in events in simplified language. International visitors with limited command of German may also be interested in some of these events, marked “Leichte Sprache” or simple German. For example, the opening service at the Hansaplatz will be in simple German. A version of the Bible texts in simple German can be found in the (German) programme book.

Smoking ban (Rauchverbot)Smoking is not allowed in any of the venues where events are taking place, due to the fire risk and no-smoking legislation. The no-smoking rule also applies to communal accommodation in schools. This ban also includes e-cigarettes.

Song bookThe song book included in your programme pack has been produced for the 2019 Kirchentag by a group of volunteers. The group of musici-ans chose 51 songs themselves and 75 more from a questionnaire to discover the ‘favourite’ songs of Kirchentag participants. The song book is a mixture of many Kirchentag classics, well-known hymns and lots of new songs, some of them from a song-writing workshop.
