Battling disasters: love in action

First there was a volcanic eruption, then an earthquake, and soon thereafter the outbreak of the coronavirus. As if this was not enough, the year ended with super typhoons that brought destruction to large parts of the country. The volunteers of NACSEA Relief had a lot to do in the year 2020.

Faith alone

The Bible says that Adam and Eve were disobedient. That’s how we humans are. But Jesus was very different: He was obedient to the point of death. His sacrifice made it possible that human beings can become more and more like Jesus.

A pioneer in the new tradition

Silesia, with its beautiful landscape on both sides of the river Oder still existed in those days. This region, together with the city of Berlin, constituted the working area of the fourth entry in the register of the Apostles of the New Apostolic Church: Johann August Ludwig Bösecke. It was on this day 200 years ago that he was born.

Gaggenau, of all places—it was in the surroundings of this town that Helge Mutschler grew up as a child. Years later, he was appointed a District Apostle Helper in this very same place. That’s how small the world often is! But that is also how great God’s work is! Well, according to the Chief Apostle, anyway.

This is nothing new: people have wishes as long as they live. In His time, Jesus asked a blind man sitting by the side of the road what He could do for him. The man responded promptly. Here is an excerpt from a sermon by the Chief Apostle.

It had all begun so well: the people had thrown palm branches in His path. They had even cheered and celebrated! They had hailed Him as their King. They had blown Him kisses and raised their arms to try and touch Him—they had had such good thoughts toward Him! But the celebration turned ugly soon enough.

The sacraments (30): Communion under both species

Communion during COVID: it would be a non-starter if we all shared the same wine chalice. So how can the sacrament nevertheless be celebrated “under both species”—that is, with both bread and wine? For an answer, we turn to history—namely that of the New Apostolic Church!
