Divine services for the departed: for New Apostolic Christians this is generally a very personal and emotional affair. And there is a good reason for this. Here are questions and answers relating to our doctrine.

When rituals encounter reforms: the new Liturgy of the New Apostolic Church is now also available in Spanish—following English, French, and German. This may not be a revolution, but it certainly is a very pleasing development.

What is life like after death? Is redemption still possible at all? Answers from the perspective of the New Apostolic faith are provided in a recently published essay. We have summarised the most important points in five statements.

God protects the church of Christ. One means is the so-called Petrine office. And that has implications both for the Church leadership and the individual member.

A photographer’s first duty? To talk! Something he should do long before he pushes the button on his camera in a divine service. Speaking with the people involved helps everyone and opens up new possibilities. So what’s important?

“No development, no redemption!” This is how the Chief Apostle sums up the matter of faith. But why is it sometimes so difficult to apply God’s word? And what makes it easier?

They conduct divine services, dispense the sacraments, and sometimes they are allowed to sit back and relax. Three District Apostles and a District Apostle Helper provide insight into their daily work.

It is not enough to just preach. We must go to the people. This was the call to ministers in a divine service conducted by the Chief Apostle in East Timor. A thought-provoking service not only for ministers.

Building, renovating, rebuilding: although you don’t necessarily need a roof over your head to have faith, it is still a good reason to celebrate when your congregation gets to move into a church building of its own. Following is a look at congregations on the build around the globe.

A structure full of symbolism: the altar connects the one bank of the river with the other. This is how young people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo celebrated their preparation for the service for the departed. Here is the story behind the image.

The Sunday services in July will focus on very typical New Apostolic subjects: our concept of the departed, the Apostle ministry, and rebirth out of water and the Spirit. But there will also be some surprises.

In a divine service recently, Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider said that we always have a reason to rejoice. This is because God loves His children as He loves Jesus. He explained how this manifests itself and how we can share in this joy.

As District Apostle of the huge working area of South-East Asia, Edy Isnugroho has experienced a lot. In his article on our annual motto, he relates personal experiences to explain how intensive prayers work.

Jesus invited Thomas to touch His wounds. Others were not allowed to touch the risen Lord. Some recognised the Lord immediately, while others only realised who He was after He had said or done something specific. The Chief Apostle explained the discrepancies in the account of the resurrection.

A lot of people celebrated a lot of memorable anniversaries in recent weeks. Among them, one of our brothers in faith, a choir, a number of congregations, a Regional Church, and even the church as a whole! And all of them celebrated around the same time. We offer our sincere congratulations!

Celebrating love: that is what the Chief Apostle did with the members in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He made use of the image of engaged couples and weddings to talk about the great marriage feast in heaven.
