Why a vigil?
Christians of the most different denominations assemble and pray in silence:
- for the Chancellor; that he also has the courage to do what he says according to his words about anti-Semitism;
- for all politicians; that they put an end to political considerations and empty words about anti-Semitism;
- that politics becomes authentic and believable again („say what I do and do what I say“);
- for God‘s mighty arm moves people‘s hearts to action against anti-Semitism, especially among all responsible decision-makers in politics and business;
- God‘s comfort, love and confidence for our Jewish siblings;
- that we Christians – no matter what denomination – stand up and lay all silence on anti-Semitism in Germany down and loudly confess the truth of God;
- in personal concerns on this topic
