Am 31. Oktober 2017 jährt sich zum 500. Mal der Thesenanschlag Martin Luthers an die Tür der Schlosskirche zu Wittenberg. Dieses Ereignis und sein gewaltiger Nachhall fordern nicht nur die Katholische Kirche, sondern auch alle anderen am Dialog beteiligten Personen und Gruppen heraus, ihren je eigenen Beitrag zur Erinnerungskultur des Reformationszubiläums beizusteuern. Dass ein solcher Beitrag aus den Reihen der Bahá'í-Gemeinde kommt, mag zunächst überraschen, denn lange Zeit war das Verhältnis der Evangelischen Kirchen zur Bahá'í-Gemeinde eisig und von aggressiver Apologetik begleitet.
