World Day of the Sick: a call to reach out

Today is a special awareness day, the World Day of the Sick. Do we really need such a day of observance? Yes, because they should not be forgotten or feel excluded or, worse, lost. The sick among us belong in the middle of the congregation, in the middle of our hearts.

When heaven is silent

Wars, earthquakes, Covid-19… The same old question keeps coming up: why does God’s love allow people to suffer? More important than the answer is an absolute certainty— and the light that guides us through dark days.

An example and the prospects it offers

They provide orientation, identification, and in many cases also enthusiasm: role models and idols define our lives from an early age on, and sometimes even into old age. But some heroes help even beyond that.

The new logos are in: well-conceived and colourful

An Apostle who not only preaches about the new motto for the year, but also converts it into art for his District Church?

What makes a good teacher? Oodles of patience, surely a genuine capacity for sympathy, and heaps of energy. When it comes to faith, the role model effect is essential: those who practise what they preach will be remembered for a long time.
