ACF Lent Group:
Voices from the Margins – Encountering the Cross in Different Contexts

on Thursdays (26th Feb – 26th March), 8 pm
In person at church

Have you ever wondered how Christians in other parts of the world, or in different circumstances from our own, understand the cross? This Lent, we’re inviting you on a journey to see the Passion of Christ through fresh perspectives.
Over five Thursday evenings starting 26th February, we’ll explore how different communities have encountered Jesus’ death and resurrection in ways that speak powerfully to their own struggles and hopes. We’ll look at liberation theology, black theology, feminist theology, and queer theology as examples of how the gospel is lived and understood from the margins. Each week will open up new ways of seeing familiar stories – perspectives born from real experiences of suffering, exclusion, and redemption.
Whether you’re theologically curious or simply want to broaden your horizons, you’re welcome. No prior knowledge needed – just bring your questions and openness to learn from voices we don’t always hear.
This Lent group is being prepared and led by Christine Ghinn, and will take place on Thursdays at 7 pm at church. If you’d like to come, please let Christine know or contact us via the church website – though spontaneous attendees are warmly welcome too.

PS.:
Here is a short video with some musical impressions from the 2024 ACF Easter Morning service. For and all those who are up for a dose of humour while practicing their German, there is this hilarious video of Bischof Stefan Oster of the Roman Catholic church with the German tradition of Osterlachen – the “Easter laughter”.
