Our Midweek Meditations Featured by the Church of England!

We’re delighted to share that our beloved Midweek Meditations blog has been recognized by the Church of England in this recent feature interview! Christine and Vinod represented our community as they shared the story behind this vibrant ministry that began during the 2020 lockdown and has since flourished into a cornerstone of our church’s communication.

The interview highlights how our diverse congregation contributes to this weekly tradition, with nearly 200 meditations published so far. What began as a way to stay connected during isolation has evolved into a meaningful platform where our congregation’s voices shine. The feature recognizes our commitment to consistency, the wide reach of the blog (reaching around 200 email subscribers plus social media followers), and how the meditations often spark conversations in our various church groups.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has contributed to Midweek Meditations over the years. Your willingness to share your faith journey, insights, and reflections has created something truly special that now serves as an inspiration to other churches!

CAECG Meeting & Confirmation Service – 9th – 12th March 2023

In March 2023 it was Freiburg’s turn to host the meeting of the Council of Anglican and Episcopalian Churches in Germany. Bishop David Hamid and Archdeacon Leslie Nathaniels, as well as 30 clergy and delegates from all over Germany came to attend the event.

A big THANK YOU to all ACF members who helped making the weekend such a success. Our guest who came to the CAECG meeting felt very well looked after and praised the lovely atmosphere and nice food. The Confirmation Service on Sunday was a wonderful occasion to worship together with the Bishop & Archdeacon, as well as friends of the family of the confirmands, and our sisters and brothers of the Old Catholic congregation, including their new minister Markus Laibach. After the service we a great time enjoying a buffet lunch, some Sekt and chatting to new and old friends.

What a weekend!
