Talking About Religion in Berlin
This post is about a tour of some Berlin religious sites and a conversation about theology during the tour.
During the WSCF Assembly I went on a tour looking at religion in Berlin with a focus on interfaith relations. Our tour guide Uwe was from the German SCM (ESG). He had given a Biblical reflection the day before at the Assembly, on gender in the book of Judges, a rather gruesome topic which you may like to read up on, notably the escapade of Jael at Judges 4:21.
First Uwe took us to the House of One. This remarkable initiative is a planned multi-faith centre with separate worship spaces for Jews, Muslims and Christians joined by a shared meeting area – see animation. Our group heard an introductory talk and did a site tour, located on the ruins of Berlin
