Markus Schächter, former ZDF director, engages in a compelling and personal dialogue with Karl Kardinal Lehmann, a significant figure in the Church. In this conversation, Lehmann reflects on his faith and hope, embodying a church that is approachable, open-minded, and compassionate. Throughout challenging times of post-conciliar transformation, he has taken on responsibilities within the Church and society, earning respect globally through his clear vision, courage, expertise, calmness, and optimistic trust in God. As he marks his 80th birthday, Schächter inquires about Lehmann's roots, sources of strength, and the foundation of his hope, while also prompting him to assess his journey. This assessment addresses the pressing and existential challenges faced by a dwindling local church, the relationship between local and global churches, and the role of religions amidst urgent issues like violence and migration. Importantly, Lehmann provides insight into his unwavering hope for the future of the Christian message, addressing difficulties without shying away from the realities at hand.
