The pilgrimage of trust continues: from Paris to Łódź
Łódź is a city of women who, for nearly 200 years, drove its development through their hard work in the textile factories, and who, during the difficult years of communism, had the courage to fight independently for their rights. It is a city shaped by four cultures and four traditions: Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox and Jewish. The inhabitants of Łódź live ecumenism in their daily lives, building their hospitality and openness on unity in diversity and on dialogue. The first invitation to host the meeting was received by the Taizé Community in 2017, from 200 young women and men from Łódź, gathered in an ecumenical prayer and signing a letter inviting the Community to organise the meeting. A few years later, they were joined by Archbishop Grzegorz Ryś, the Mayor of the City Hanna Zdanowska, and Bishop Semko Koroza of the Evangelical Reformed Church.
