Study Day on "Gebet in Gemeinschaft und Gemeinde"


Three study days on the topic "Praying without ceasing" are being jointly organized by the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft christlicher Kirchen" in Switzerland (AGCK.CH), the New Apostolic Church  (NAC), and the Institute for Ecumenical Studies at the University of Fribourg Switzerland (ISO). After a conference on personal prayer in 2019, an exchange on "Prayer in community and congregation" took place on 13 February 2020.

In a panel discussion, representatives of various Christian traditions shared their experiences and questions: Marek Kolman (Pentecostal-charismatic) - Marie-Louise Beyeler (Catholic) - Sabina Ingold (Reformed) - Jürg Meyer (New Apostolic) - Stefanos Athanasiou (Orthodox).

Four spiritual movements introduced themselves with short presentations and offered working groups for in-depth discussions: 1) Community Chemin Neuf (Sr. Mirjam Rombouts) - Markuskirche Lucerne/BewegungPlus (Marek Kolman, Jonas Aubert), 3) Movement Don Camillo (Barbara Weiss, Heiner Schubert), 4) Metal Church (Samuel Hug).

A conference on "Prayer in ecumenical meetings" will follow on 18 February 2021.
