Round table of religions in Stuttgart

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Round Table of Religions in Stuttgart was an institution of the Baden-Württemberg state capital Stuttgart , which became known, among other things, as a sample project for other municipalities . On the initiative of Mayor Wolfgang Schuster and with the participation of Franz Brendle, who had already gained experience with his Round Table of Religions at the federal level, the Round Table was launched in 2003. He represented seven religious communities in Stuttgart. In addition to the two large Christian churches, two Muslim communities were represented (the Turkish-Islamic Union of the Institute for Religion (DITIB) and the Bosnian-Islamic community), the Israelite religious community of Württemberg , the Baha'i community and the Stuttgart Buddha House . The body served to promote dialogue between religions and was supported by a total of 25 religious communities. In January 2005, at the invitation of the Baha'i community , the religious scholar Michael Blume led a panel discussion with the members of the Council of Religions in Stuttgart City Hall, in which they presented their work to a wider public.

Under Mayor Fritz Kuhn , the successor institution in October 2015 was a Council of Religions in Stuttgart , whose meetings take place three times a year.
