If no one says yes, you should say it; if no one says no, then say no; if everyone doubts, dare to believe; if everyone joins in, stand alone.

Lothar Zenetti

Lothar Zenetti (1926–2019) war ein deutscher römisch-katholischer Priester, Schriftsteller und Rundfunkbeauftragter aus Frankfurt am Main. Als wichtiger Wegbereiter des Neuen Geistlichen Liedes verband er moderne Lyrik mit zeitgenössischer Musik, womit er in traditionellen kirchlichen Kreisen zeitweise Kritik auslöste. Bibellesern eröffnet seine schlichte, bildhafte Sprache Zugänge zu biblischen Motiven und ermutigt zu gelebter christlicher Hoffnung über Konfessionsgrenzen hinweg.
