“Great moments of unity”. Gerhard Proß and Lothar Penners recount 25 years of journey in Together for Europe. Through testimonies, reflections and memories, this volume shows how faith can transform differences into dialogue and build bridges of fraternity in the heart of Europe. It is not a chronicle, but an invitation to believe in the unifying power of the Gospel, capable of generating hope and spiritual and social renewal.
Experiences, reflections and interviews | News

Twenty-five years ago, something happened that many thought impossible: Christians from different denominations, movements and communities began to listen together to God’s call to unity. These first meetings gave rise to the ecumenical network Together for Europe, which today brings together numerous and varied movements and communities across the continent.

The book “Great moments of unity” (Sternstunden der Einheit) by Gerhard Proß and Lothar Penners traces this history of reconciliation and spiritual growth, offering numerous personal testimonies of the journey taken together.

This is not simply a chronicle, but an invitation to recognise how faith can transcend boundaries and build bridges, not only between Churches, but also within society.

The volume brings together experiences, reflections and speeches that document 25 years of shared life and invites us, in a time of division, to cultivate a “culture of togetherness”, based on mutual love and the power of the Gospel.

The book will be published in November 2025, initially only in German.
