Interreligious Walking Meditation in Hamburg
A shared walking meditation in public space can be practised as an interreligious practice for peace and creation and is organisationally secured as a registered demonstration with police accompaniment.
We start on the square in front of the church and move – as a registered demonstration – through the Lange Reihe to the St. Marien Cathedral (Am Mariendom 1) in public space – on the pavement or on the road, depending on the number of participants.
The text is an invitation from OG Hamburg to an interreligious walking meditation as part of the Night of the Churches on 12 September 2026 in Hamburg. The event takes place in the Dreieinigkeitskirche St. Georg and begins at 7:30 pm on the square in front of the church. The participants move as a registered demonstration through the Lange Reihe to the St. Marien Cathedral. Depending on the number of participants, the walk takes place on the pavement or on the road. The Hamburg police accompany the event and ensure, together with the organisers, a safe course of proceedings. The title and the subtitle 'For Peace and Creation' frame the meditation thematically. It is a recurring practice, described as 'an almost well-practised practice and tradition'. The text contains no theological elaborations but is primarily an organisational announcement with a thematic framework.
