| Summary: | This article describes what the International Ecumenical Youth Meeting in Beirut 2019 meant for participants from the Middle East, particularly from Lebanon and how these meanings can be theologically evaluated. Embracing, a term we borrow from Miroslav Volf’s theory, became a crucial concept to describe one of the main meanings. This is further elaborated with the concept symbolic embracement. Furthermore we explain how exploration and commitment play a role in the participation of youth. The theological evaluation leads us to the God who transcends human particularity and plurality. Viele Teilnehmende des International Ecumenical Youth Meeting in Beirut im Jahr 2019 erfuhren die dortigen Begegnungen als tief bedeutsam. Der Aufsatz erläutert und deutet die Erfahrungen junger erwachsener Teilnehmender aus dem Nahen Osten, insbesondere aus dem Libanon, im Rahmen der Konferenz mithilfe des Konzepts der Umarmung nach Miroslav Volf. Die qualitative Studie mündet in die Skizze eines Gottesverständnisses, das menschliche Partikularität und Pluralität transzendiert. |
