"Living and Active and Sharper" in Germany

Would you like to join a group from the Oxford diocese at the 31st German Protestant Kirchentag?

The Kirchentag takes place in Cologne from 6-10 June, and involves thousands of Christians from around the world. Its focus is on the word of God, described as ‘Living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword’ by the letter to the Hebrews (4:12).

The event brings together Biblical scholarship, global awareness, prophetic witness, political engagement, theological insight, lively debate, mind-blowing worship (and masses of music and dance).

The Oxford visit to the Kirchentag is being organised as part of  the ‘At Home in the World Church’ year initiative. It will be led by the Rt Revd Alan Wilson, Bishop of Buckingham.

Cost for participants (once you’ve got there!) will be around £55 for individuals, covering free admission to all events and free public transport in and around Cologne. For a further £8 you can have a week’s bed-and-breakfast accommodation in a German household. There are special rates for students, pensioners and the disabled.
