Farewell Fr Christian Dieckmann and Dagmar Balser Fr Christian celebrated our anniversary with us in June. In the year when all Protestants celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation we thought it a good sign of ecumenism to invite a Roman Catholic preacher to balance our Lutheran chaplain. In July Fr Christian said good bye to his flock and is now back in Germany as a Benedictine monk at Abtei Kornelimünster. Pastorin Dagmar Balser will celebrate her farewell service at St Marien, Sandwich Street, on 6 August. We say thank you for good co-operation and neighbourhood and wish them God’s blessing on their way!

Bring & Buy Our Bring & Buy on 3rd June raised £586 for PIP – Pursuing Independent Paths, a local charity supporting people with learning disabilities. Many thanks to the donors, shoppers and helpers! If you want to know a bit more about the work of PIP, do join us at the Anglo German Circle on 28 September (see page 9).

YMCA Founders Day A group from the West London YMCA walked from Ealing to St Paul’s Cathedral to be greeted by the bishop. Our Association welcomed them on their way with a breakfast and a short introduction to our work. Their leader received a copy of our history It Can Be! They were delighted and did not want to leave again – but that might also have been due to the bad weather. 11

Welcome On 7 September we hope to welcome our new volunteers Helena Koch and Robin Kulha. If all goes to plan you will read more about them in the next Programme.

Street Party in Craven Terrace Handicrafts for the Christmas Market We would like to invite you again for crafty Tuesdays in the Brothers Room.

August 2017 To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great. Acts 26.22 This choice of text I find most unusual and at the same time obvious. The unusual: It is neither a prophesy of godly things to come, nor an appeal or reminder regarding our conduct as Christians. It does not help in pastoral care. It is foremost a testimony, which can, on the face of it, be attributed to any number of persons, past and present, of any religious background, who have faith in the one God. The anonymity of the testimony can only be overcome by consulting the Bible reference in its context. And who in this, our hectic life, has the time or inclination for an in-depth study of even this small part of early church history? But here at least a few points: The book of Acts (of the Apostles) is the only, and therefore referred to interrogation. Paul’s judges, these important link between the Gospel and the prominent leaders, are neither qualified nor account of life in the early Christian Church willing to make an informed judgement. as preserved in the Epistles. Our text is taken They fall back on ridicule, making light and from a dramatic confrontation between calling knowledge mockingly madness.

Au Pair Services The German YMCA offers an au pair placement service in co-operation with the IN VIA and VIJ associations in Germany. To find the right family for the right au pair and vice versa is one of our aims. To facilitate exchange between cultures is another. With our programmes, which include social-cultural events especially addressed to au pairs, we aim to give a broad experience of country, history and culture. We also offer the intercultural qualification course “Dare to Differ”. Telephone Contact With the support of the trustees of the former German Old People’s Home “Homelands” we have a project for anybody who is a native German speaker and lives in the UK. If you can not meet other German speakers in person this is an opportunity to talk to someone in your language. For further information please phone Ursula Mitchell on 01268 551 931. Volunteer Placement Services In co-operation with other organisations we offer young people the opportunity to volunteer abroad for a period of three to twelve months. Project themes could include: youth, sport, culture, social care, environment. Our aim is to provide young people with an intercultural learning experience and to encourage social integration. For further information, or if your organisation would like to host a volunteer, please contact Alice Melsheimer by phone or e-mail (see below).
