Many things are changing, and the churches need to find new ways of living the faith in the context of todays world,” wrote Sauca. "Yet as Christians we may always call upon the love of God in hope.”

Sauca noted that the Evangelical Church in Germany has a long, constructive and effective role in promoting ecumenical relations. It is a WCC member since the first assembly 1948 in Amsterdam” he wrote. At a time when the membership of the Christian churches in Europe is declining and the pandemic has shown us how interconnected our world is, it is all the more important that the churches worldwide know about each other, are connected and speak into their societies.”

Sauca invited Kurschus to visit the Ecumenical Centre in Geneva and the Bossey Ecumenical Institute. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you think we can be of help,” he wrote. We are looking forward to learning from the rich experience of reconciliation and unity that you bring from your context.”
