Rev Mirko Lipski-Reinhardt
Rev Mirko Lipski-Reinhardt is the pastor of the Protestant Church in Hünxe, Germany. Originally from the Western part of Germany, he studied theology in Wuppertal, Oslo, and Berlin. Being a pastor is not unusual in Mirko’s family as his mother started that tradition. Mirko attributes his faith and his belief to his grandmother and grandfather. He has developed a project on Instagram focusing on religion, society, and everyday life, which was recognized with a special media award. In addition to his general work in the congregation, Mirko is also responsible for the public relation and social media work of his church.
My name is Mirko Lipski-Reinhardt. I am 32 years old and a Protestant pastor in the Hünxe parish on the Lower Rhine. This year’s JCM topic is incredibly exciting because for the first time in our generation, we are confronted with the phenomenon that the whole of humankind – regardless of location, regardless of religious affiliation – is faced with the same challenge. Since March 2020, the fact that life cannot be controlled has become a global experience, has taken possession of our daily life, including our religious communities. We had to worship differently, we had to spend our feasts differently, we had to live with disappointments. So I want to try to give a Christian response to the question. I want to tell something of my past year as a pastor in a “normal” parish and as pastor in the social media.
