How next, - Mr. Priest?
Questions of Muslims to Christians.
Christianity belongs to the spiritual world, in which our Muslim fellow citizens found their new home. Much that they observe about the Christian faith strikes them as unclear and strange. Christian theologians answer the questions, asked by a competent Muslim interrogator and by the audience.

One Kindergarten for Christians and Muslims
Discussion - not only for parents and kindergarten teachers
It starts in the kindergarten: here the fundament is laid for faith, life adjustment and mutual understanding. Many Muslimic children visit Christian kindergartens. How do kindergartens adjust to that? How do they use the chance for joint education? Christian and Muslimic kindergarten teachers tell us about their experiences and are open for a discussion.

Moderation: Christine Herrmann-Wielsch
My partner is Muslim, how can this move on?
Two women tell us about their way of leading such a partnership
Britta Koc, 35 years. Married to Ali-Nihat Koç (Muslim from Turkey) since 1993. She converted to the Islam in 1992 (from Christianity). She is a practicing Muslima.
She says: "The Islam positively changed my personality and my outlook on life. Because of that I experience my partnership - independent of cultural differences - more consciously."
Gerda El-Banna, 59 years, was married to Ahmad El-Banna (Muslim from Jerusalem) for 37 years, when both were separated by death in 1998. Practicing Christian (roman catholic). She says: "A marriage combining two religions is very challenging, but it enriches you and expanses one´s life"
The portrayal of two ways of life wants to give an impulse for reflection. In the following discussion questions will be answered as far as possible.

An hour of prayer for peace
Pause and reflect
Mourning, palsy, rage... - emotions often are bad advisors.
We want to pray for the victims, but turn to the future as well.
How can we continue living together? Which confidence-building measures are necessary?
A petrol bomb attack on a Munich mosque, a dummy of a letter bomb in front of a Nuremberg mosque should make us thinking.
