The Kirchentag Presidium has chosen an unusual theme for 2007. It expresses the desire for a Protestant profile. This passage is taken from the letter to the Hebrews in the New Testament: 'the Word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword...' The Kirchentag seeks to enhance clear-eyed discernment, lucid thinking and courageous action. This was expressed by the archaic symbol of Christianity: the fish. After one week on billboards all over germany a simple fin was added to the fish, including the motto "living and active, and sharper".
