Kirchentag
The
"Protestant Kirchentag" ("Evangelischer
Kirchentag") is not just Protestant only but quite eceumenical:
not
only because of visitors from many denominations but also because representatives
from many churches are invited to play an active role in
discussions, services, exhibitions, concerts and many other events.

Please come and join in!"
