                <sp>
                <speaker>Question 1:</speaker> 
                <p>In what way do you conceive of the Gospel and the Law as constitutive elements of the One Word?</p>
                </sp>
                <sp>
                <speaker>Barth:</speaker> 
                <p>The one Word: covenant - in J[esus] C[hrist] fulfilled from the <hi rend="italic">human side</hi> - in <hi rend="italic">our</hi> place - asks us to be <hi rend="italic">with</hi> him - asks for our <hi rend="italic">obedience</hi> - is as our saviour also our master.</p>
                </sp>
                <sp>
                <speaker>Question 2:</speaker> 
                <p>Christ was sacrificed on the Cross for us …</p>
                </sp>
                <sp>
                <speaker>Barth:</speaker> 
                <p>… «sacrificed»: gave himself away in order to take upon him our sin and perdition.</p>
                </sp>
                <p><lb/></p>

                <sp>
                <speaker>Question 2a):</speaker> 
                <p>In what way does the believer continue this sacrifice in the worship of the Church and in his daily life?</p>
                </sp>
                <sp>
                <speaker> <pb ed="pga" xml:id="p357" rend="noPipe"/>Barth:</speaker> 
                <p>[continue this sacrifice?] only? «continue» [-] respond [-] <hi rend="italic">response:</hi> analogy, picture, mirror [-] by <hi rend="italic">service</hi> as <hi rend="italic">witnesses</hi> for the benefit of the neighbour and the world.</p>
                </sp>
                <sp>
                <speaker>Question 2b):</speaker> 
                <p>What is meant by Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist?</p>
                </sp>
                <sp>
                <speaker>Barth:</speaker> 
                <p>«Real Presence» <hi rend="italic">also!</hi> in the Eucharist [.] two or three … «Eucharist»: thanksgiving - receiving our daily bred from him and sharing it with the brethren.</p>
                </sp>
                <p><lb/></p>

                <sp>
                <speaker>Question 3:</speaker> 
                <p>How is a union between the «catholic» churches and the «evangelical» churches possible? …</p>
                </sp>
                <sp>
                <speaker>Barth:</speaker> 
                <p>Both becoming <hi rend="italic">more</hi> cath[olic] and <hi rend="italic">more</hi> evang[elical].</p>
                </sp>
                <sp>
                <speaker>Question 3:</speaker> 
                <p>… Is the acceptance of ecclesiastical authority (expressed in the episcopal ministry) inevitable for such a visible union?</p>
                </sp>
                <sp>
                <speaker>Barth:</speaker> 
                <p><hi rend="italic">Is</hi> […] <hi rend="italic">inevitable</hi> […]? Certainly not! [Randbemerkung zur ganzen Frage:] Compromise [?]!</p>
                </sp>
                <p><lb/></p>

                <sp>
                <speaker>Question 4:</speaker> 
                <p>In view of your critical attitude toward ‹natural theology› what have you to say concerning world cultures and modern living faiths?</p>
                </sp>
                <sp>
                <speaker>Barth:</speaker>

                <sp>
                <speaker>Question 5:</speaker> 
                <p>What is the role of reconciliation for the Church with regard to an expanding East-West conflict?</p>
                </sp>
                <sp>
                <speaker>Barth:</speaker> 
                <p>The <hi rend="italic">Church</hi>: 1.) is interested not in ideas, principles, systems …, but in <hi rend="italic">man</hi> as God’s fellow</p>
