...Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Go in peace."† Despite Luther; the practice of confession became increasingly stereotyped, was finally abandoned in the 17th century. Last week its revival was a major topic in Lutheran Germany. The occasion was this year's Kirchentag in Munich (TIME, Aug. 24), where no fewer than 2,000 Protestants went to confession in the two churches designated for the purpose. Says Pastor Hans Jacob of Bensheim, who heard many of them: "For 90% of them, confession was a new experience, and all of them felt it opened...

In Munich Kirchentag delegates found themselves in the heart of Catholic Germany. It was the largest body of Protestants to descend on Munich since the armies of Gustavus Adolphus captured the city in 1632, and their advent was a great success. Munich's Joseph Cardinal Wendel took in Danish Bishop Frode Beyer and his wife as house guests, and many a Catholic family followed the cardinal's example. All over the city, for the Kirchentag...
