The committee went from project group to working group status. It will act as a contact not only for Christian denominations, but for all religions of the world.

Bread is being distributed in church. No, not Holy Communion, real bread. It is the sheer poverty of the people that is making this necessary.

“C’etait genial.” It was awesome. These were Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider’s own words as he said goodbye in South Korea. He was heading home after having been in the Far East for ten days.

Fellowship is something that New Apostolic Christians not only experience in divine service. They often also spend time together outside of church in the circle of the youth, their congregation, or even with the Chief Apostle.

Kalaallit Nunaat, as the island is called in Greenlandic, is full of contrasts: geologically it belongs to North America, politically to Europe.

They have the last word, yet nobody sees them. They listen and talk at the same time and all of this in two languages.
