    Dr Weissmann,
    Rabbi Brandt,
    Participants in the ICCJ Annual Conference,
    Ladies and gentlemen,

    Thank you very much for inviting me to address you here this evening at the end of your Annual Conference. It was a very special conference. It will probably go down as a new milestone in the history of the Christian-Jewish dialogue. Because with the twelve Berlin Theses you have renewed the foundation for your work.
