Werden wir Gemeinsamkeiten feststellen zwischen den Ländern
des Nordens, Westens, Ostens oder des Südens, was den Umgang mit zerbrochenen Gottesbildern,
Selbstbildern, Weltbildern angeht? Oder gibt es da große Unterschiede?
God created humankind in his own image. But is our image of
God more than a mirror image, one that we have constructed? Like mirrors, our
images of God can break and we may feel like something inside us shattered.
There are questions or situations in our lives that make us doubt our own faith
or even God. But our faith, if it is to be alive and resilient, needs to be
forever under construction. Maybe our doubts, our shaken or even shattered
ideas of what is true can bring us a little closer to the truth that is God and
make us humble. In Riga, we will talk about the experience of perpetual
deconstruction and reassessment of the images of God, which also took place in
the churches after the Iron Curtain opened and which have to be undertaken
again and again by every generation. This will be not only a basis for our
discussion about God's and humankind’s images, but also about diversity, unity
and tolerance.

It was an honor to be part of all superinteresting discussions along with respected pastors and other theology students.
