In my marriage, it is not about my wife doing something for me, but the meaning of a relationship lies in the relationship itself.

Johannes Hartl

Johannes Hartl (* 1979) ist ein deutscher katholischer Theologe, Autor und Gründer des Gebetshauses Augsburg. Er steht für eine Verbindung von katholischer Tradition, charismatisch geprägter Gebetspraxis und zeitgenössischer Kulturkritik, die er über Bücher, Vorträge und Konferenzen verbreitet. Während er für viele als moderner Brückenbauer christlicher Spiritualität gilt, kritisieren theologische und mediale Stimmen Tendenzen zu einer freikirchlich verengten Entscheidungskirche sowie potenziell vereinnahmenden Strukturen.
