Abstract
This contribution offers a retrospective on the events of the year 2017 in Germany from the perspective of the Special Envoy for the Reformation Anniversary (of the EKD). It highlights individual climaxes such as the Kirchentag or the World Exhibition of the Reformation in Wittenberg and appreciates the spirit of ecumenical openness and the global horizon of the celebrations. It also discusses some challenges for present-day Christianity, namely preaching in an environment that is both secular and multi-religious. According to the author, it will be decisive to keep the impact of the anniversary alive in the local church communities beyond the year 2017.
