Working to improve mutual understanding between the Middle East and the West
One of three public events held in connection to the 2023 GINGKO Interfaith Fellowship Retreat, organised by GINGKO in collaboration with the Suermondt Ludwig Museum in Aachen, included a reading and discussion by Navid Kermani.
Kermani is a Cologne-based writer and the winner of prestigious prizes such as the Hannah-Arendt-Prize, the Kleist-Prize, the Joseph-Breitbach-Prize, the Peace Prize and the Hölderlin-Prize. During the event, Kermani read two chapters from his book Wonder Beyond Belief: On Christianity, the first on the theme of the cross and the second addressing the idea of beauty. A lively and engaging discussion followed, moderated by Professor Klaus von Stosch of the International Center for Comparative Theology and Social Issues at the University of Bonn.
