Quo vadis, NAC? Where is the New Apostolic Church going? Answers to this are given in a three-part interview with Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider.

Pentecost two thousand years ago is considered to be the birth of the church. What has become of this child? Has it grown up by now? Has it made good strides into a meaningful life?

What is the capital of the USA? Most would say New York. New York is the largest and most famous of US cities, but not the country’s capital. It is Washington, D.C., and this is where the International District Apostle Meeting will be taking place in the upcoming week. D.C. means District of Columbia, and […]

Ascension and Pentecost are two important Christian holy days that are celebrated in May. May is both a month of contemplation and boundless joy.

Karl the Great is what many called him affectionately: today, 25 years to the day, one of the most influential District Apostles passed away.

The thousands of teachers of the New Apostolic Church are not the only ones who have a heart for children. The Chief Apostle does too, and this is reflected in the Divine Service Guide.

How far has the organisation of the International Youth Convention 2019 progressed? No one is better informed than Apostle Franz-Wilhelm Otten. He was already involved with the European Youth Day 2009 and is involved this time too. What are your fondest memories of the European Youth Day (EYD) 2009? The joy that the youth were […]
