Nuremberg - Last Sunday (May 16) the 3rd Ecumenical Church Congress (ÖKT) came to an end in Frankfurt, mainly in digital format.

Frankfurt's Lord Mayor Peter Feldmann has passed the baton to the following host cities: to Stuttgart, where the 102nd Catholic Day will take place from May 25 to 29, 2022, and to Nuremberg as the venue for the 38th German Evangelical Church Congress from June 7 to 11, 2023 . 

Nuremberg's Lord Mayor Marcus König has accepted the baton for the Kirchentag  

Mayor Marcus König had received the baton when his Frankfurt counterpart Peter Feldmann visited Nuremberg, as the city of Nuremberg announced in a message.  

The handover was recorded and broadcast on the ÖKT live stream.

There is also a film from the city in which Marcus König called for a visit to the Kirchentag in Nuremberg, and a film by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria and the German Evangelical Kirchentag with a preview of the major event in Franconia in 2023. 

In Nuremberg, planning for the Kirchentag is now "really getting going"  

“Now the planning for Nuremberg is really getting started.

We look forward to the many people who will come to our city in two years and promise that we will be good hosts.

But it will also be a great experience for us in Nuremberg, because a church convention is always a source of inspiration for the host city, ”said the mayor. 

In the closing service at the ÖKT in Frankfurt, the Bavarian State Bishop Prof. Dr.

Heinrich Bedford-Strohm was invited to the Kirchentag in Nuremberg for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria.
