    Home-schooling

    Hi there, in the other thread this is off-topic, so I just started a new one. I hope that’s ok with you. Well, yes, Hitler certainly was keen to enforce the German “Schulpflicht” after he had turned the school-system into a Nazi-Propaganda-Apparatus. But it was actually already around in the...

    In their Christmas sermons …

    … the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, my local protestant pastor and probably many more pastors around the world reminded us that the Baby Jesus Himself was a refugee. The Bible keeps telling us that we are to show love and kindness to those in need. So why is it that so many American...

    Some of you may have wondered why I haven’t been posting for quite a while. It’s not because I grew tired of you guys, but because shortly before Christmas my husband and I got very exciting news: we are going to be foster parents soon. So since Christmas we’ve been frantically busy getting our...

    It's advent-time

    How do you celebrate it? One of the things we do in Germany that my British husband did not know before he moved here is the “Advent wreath”: We have it in our churches and at home. The first candle is lit on the 1th Sunday in advent, then two, three, four … families gathers around it and sing...

    Steve Bannon praises Satan

    “"Darkness is good," says Bannon, who amid the suits surrounding him at Trump Tower, looks like a graduate student in his T-shirt, open button-down and tatty blue blazer — albeit a 62-year-old graduate student. "Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That's power. It only helps us when they" — I...

    A small Parish in Finland started to ring their funeral bells for the victims of Aleppo and by now this sign of protest and solidarity has become a big international movement with more churches joining daily. Let’s pray that the brutal killing in Syria ends soon! http://bellsforaleppo.org/

    Augustine about time

    There’s a wonderful Libri-Vox recording of Augustine’s “Confessiones” on YouTube that some of you might find just as enjoyable to listen to as I did. Here’s just Book XI with ponderings about time and eternity. Such meditative love for God and reason! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVQBO3Fxz0M

    "Pope Francis has urged people to welcome refugees fleeing war and hunger in his first public words after arriving in Kraków, indicating that he would not duck the issue likely to be a significant cause of tension between him and the Polish government during the five-day papal visit. Speaking...

    Homosexuality

    Hi there Wormwood, you’re right: this would derail the other thread, so here’s a new one. Let me start with something I’m sure you and I agree on: the first and furthermost commands a Christian ought to follow is to love God neighbour. And even though on this topic we happen to disagree on...
