"Take the People's Church in the new look"
The church the Evangelical-ref. Community Osnabrück has resolved to take in community work in the coming years, the "people's church", so that 90-95% of church members who participate in church life have little or nothing, but the church remains faithful to the look.
dealt in intense work, the Church Council to the situation of the community - and also with the expectations and attitudes of church members, as they are detected by the EKD membership studies. "Motto: The church member, an unknown entity" (Pastor Guenter Baum). A key finding of the membership of studies is not the distant church membership as a "loss-mode" ("U-Boot-Christians") compared to the "core community" to see, but as a separate church money ...
"Man, as we have previously never sat closer look" - so church elders Gertrud Bauer Lindemann from Osnabrück. The Parish Council agreed in 2011 to learn intensively about new forms of opening to the "new mountain church from 2012 to also move to strengthen the people's church.
The church elders and pastors met for their traditional annual retreat at the monastery Damme (in Oldenburger Münsterland).
