The Impact of the Reformation and the Future of Christianity

In view of the current global crisis in which war conflicts and waves of refugees reinforces the existing mistrust and negative attitudes towards the religions as causes of violence the question arises: How do matters stand with Christianity in Europe? How could canonical tradition/law and reformation resp. ecclesiastical dogmas and European values be reconciled today? Europe? Do the Christian Churches still need a kind of Reformation? The jubilee of the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's theses is a great opportunity to pursue these questions as well as to reevaluate the spiritual and socio-political impact of the Reformation. The following issue of the Labyrinth-Journal offers not only Protestant but also Catholic Orthodox non-Christian and even atheistic contributions to these topics. It also celebrates the 110th Anniversary of the elaboration of the Roerich Pact discussing its perspectives of a Reformation through Culture.
