During the week of 18-25 January, we celebrate two important events: the Week of Action to Fight Inequality and the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity which has as its theme for 2019, “justice and only justice you shall pursue” (Deuteronomy 16, 18-20). As Christians, we are a diverse, worldwide family. Jesus calls us to be the light of the world, to preach the good news to those that have less. Where can our worldwide network serve as a light in a world of tremendous inequalities? Where can the Holy Spirit help us to come together as one and discover our potential for enacting change?

Justice and only justice you shall pursue

(Deuteronomy 16:18-20)

Die Texte für die Gebetswoche für die Einheit der Christen im Jahr 2019 wurden von Christen/innen aus Indonesien erarbeitet. Der ökumenischen Arbeitsgruppe war es wichtig, die aktuellen Herausforderungen der indonesischen Gesellschaft im Licht des Evangeliums aufzuzeigen. Dazu gehört zum einen der religiöse Extremismus, der sich in den letzten Jahren verschärft hat, obwohl in Indonesien bislang eine Vielzahl von Religionen friedlich zusammenlebte. Zum anderen prägt Indonesien eine sich durch die Globalisierung verstärkende Armut. Deutlich zeigte die ökumenische Arbeitsgruppe in Indonesien auf, dass die christlichen Gemeinden und Konfessionen in ihrem Land aber auch weltweit, diesen Herausforderungen wirksam entgegentreten können, wenn sie - durch das Gebet getragen - die Herausforderungen ihrer Gegenwart gemeinsam angehen. Das Motto für die Gebetswoche für die Einheit der Christen 2019 „Gerechtigkeit, Gerechtigkeit – ihr sollst du nachjagen (Dtn 16,20a)“ ist deshalb auch ein Ruf zur Einheit und zum gemeinsamen Gebet für die Einheit.
