Dieses Ereignis und sein gewaltiger Nachhall fordern nicht nur die Katholische Kirche, sondern auch alle anderen am Dialog beteiligten Personen und Gruppen heraus, ihren je eigenen Beitrag zur Erinnerungskultur des Reformationszubiläums beizusteuern. Dass ein solcher Beitrag aus den Reihen der Bahá'í-Gemeinde kommt, mag zunächst überraschen, denn lange Zeit war das Verhältnis der Evangelischen Kirchen zur Bahá'í-Gemeinde eisig und von aggressiver Apologetik begleitet.

There is a reason that the phrase "spiritual but not religious" exists. Now more than ever, people are finding it difficult to reconcile their experiences or worldviews with the anxiety that organized religion too often creates.
