This interactive event aims to promote awareness of peace and social cohesion. And not only within the Christian community, but also in an interreligious context. Interreligious dialogue, such as that maintained between Judaism, Christianity and Islam, has proven to be valuable in creating understanding and respect, which is particularly important in today's world. Research shows that this dialogue breaks down prejudices and supports peaceful coexistence.

Shared values ​​such as mercy, justice and human dignity are at the heart of these efforts. These universal principles are anchored in the teachings of all three religions and are interpreted in various forms. For example, in Judaism, mercy is referred to as “Chesed,” while in Christianity, Jesus’ teachings and the parable of the Good Samaritan are emphasized throughout the Gospels. In Islam, the term “Rahma” is of central importance because the Prophet Muhammad is described as “mercy for all worlds”.

Promoting peace through dialogue

The inclusion of all interested parties also promotes education and enlightenment in interreligious dialogue. In cities that actively pursue such initiatives, greater social cohesion can often be observed. Events like the Long Night of Christians make an important contribution to this process and provide a platform on which these topics can be discussed.

So when the lights come on in Fürstenfeldbruck on Friday and people come together, the focus is clearly on what unites everyone: the desire for peace and respectful coexistence. This night will therefore be more than just an event - it will be a sign of solidarity and the common striving for a harmonious coexistence.
