Pentecost … At home with the Chief Apostle or in our own congregation, maybe even with Holy Communion? The first option is open to everyone, the second one only to a few. The Chief Apostle’s recommendation is clear. We have never seen so much of our Apostles. Since the coronavirus crisis forced us to close […]

Divine services are currently taking […]

Easter is the feast of the resurrection of the Lord. It is the principal feast in the liturgical calendar of Christian churches.

We can no longer go […]

Easter is the “feast of consolation and hope”. Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider really means it. To underline this he wants to send out a strong signal—with a worldwide divine service. Sure, the New Apostolic Church has a lot of experience with worldwide video services: the central Pentecost service has been transmitted regularly by satellite since […]

For four young men from Bavaria in Germany the past weekend was not exactly relaxing. And the coming weekend will not be any different either.
