Prayer for Peace: The World in Disorder
When crises, wars, and uncertainty shape the present, the prayer for peace in the Süsterkirche invites reflection, shared responsibility, and hope. In the calm atmosphere of the Reformed Protestant church space, there is room for prayer, biblical impulses, and mindful contemplation on paths to peace.
Faith in the Face of Global Crises
The focus is on the position paper of the Protestant Church in Germany titled World in Disorder – Looking Towards Just Peace. The prayer for peace addresses central questions about peace and security: What role do military deterrence and armament play? What opportunities do non-violent conflict resolutions offer? And what is the aim of responsible state and societal action?
Prayer, Music, and Joint Reflection
Pastor Bertold Becker shapes the evening together with the International Fellowship of Reconciliation, local group Bielefeld. Biblical impulses connect with the personal and communal search for peace, justice, and reconciliation. On the piano, Peter Ewers musically accompanies the prayer for peace and creates a meditative spiritual atmosphere with his sounds.
Peace as a Religious Experience
The communal prayer directs attention to paths based on justice, reconciliation, and the overcoming of violence. The religious experience of the evening connects inner contemplation with social responsibility. Christian peace spirituality becomes an encouragement for credible action for life and togetherness.
An Evening for Believers and the Interested
The prayer for peace is directed at people from the Reformed Protestant community as well as all interested individuals who are seeking orientation, hope, and a viable peace practice in light of the global political situation. The Süsterkirche offers a protected space for listening, praying, and joint reflection.
Visitors can expect a dignified evening with prayer, music, theological impulses, and engaged peace work. Experience the spiritual community live on October 15, 2026, in the Süsterkirche and make a statement for peace, justice, and reconciliation.
