Germany: Lutheran and Catholic honored for their contributions to ecumenism

(LWI) - A strong sign for Christian ecumenism: the Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria, Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, and the Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx were awarded the 2020 Augsburg Peace Prize for their “unconditional will to live together in peace”.

The church leaders reached out to one another on behalf of many Catholic and Protestant Christians, said Augsburg Mayor Eva Weber on 8 August when announcing the prize winners at this year’s Augsburg Peace Festival. They emphasized the similarities in church and society instead of differences.

“On the occasion of the 500th commemoration of the Reformation in 2017, Archbishop Reinhard Cardinal Marx and Bishop Heinrich Bedford-Strohm have set a historic sign for all Christians worldwide,” said Weber, “and have given us an impressive testimony that true communion in faith is possible despite different confessional affiliations.”

Unconditional will to live together in peace. If only more people were all about that we might make a bit of progress.

Unconditional naiveté is required to accept such a transparently juvenile formulation.
That statement is inherently impossible to live by; no matter what is done to one, one will never resort to violence?
We appreciate and agree with the sentiment, but the wording is facile and without depth.
