In Stuttgart mit Gisela Koellner von EMS^ - Evangelisches Missionswerk in SüdwestdeutschlandVisit of Mrs. Mrinalini David in the Protestant Church in Baden accompanied by Reverend Timothy Ravinder and Mrs. Anny Hemalatha Ravinder from 12th to 25th of July 2007 – Report
Our marvellous experiences that we have lived through this programme once again reminds us and all the readers, how much more there is yet to learn from the German Church Congregations and the vice versa. And how much more beautiful places there are here, in this part of the world for us to see and relish. Our ecumenical Learning has given more clarity to our thought and has sharpened our Vision for a common Witness. There are immense possibilities for us to learn from each other and thereby mutually be benefited from each other.
We should put our heads and hearts together to tap the vast capabilities that are inside and around us, to bring out the ‘Divine Spark’ from within us. Ecumenism facilitates this process through mutual learning for mutual enrichment. From our experience as ecumenical co-workers in Baden we stand witness to this. The ‘Intellectual Horse Power and energy that we posses could also be invested more in the area of ecumenical and mission activities. It could also be in the form of Resource exchange, sharing of ideas, common Liturgy, exchange of Persons of various disciplines etc….
We had the great opportunity to experience the warmth and the good hospitality of the Baden Church and EMS. It has made us to feel good. It has taken us from strength to strength and from Grace to Grace. We also believe that Mrs. David had almost enjoyed especially the German food and the Culture. She was fully involved with energy in all the programmes and she has left Germany with lots of impressions and good thoughts.
Last but not the least…
Many people have contributed towards this programme without whom it would have never been possible. We convey our heart felt thanks to Rev. Stockmeier, Rev. Labsch and their dynamic Team for all the support. We express our thanks and gratitude to our Bishop Dr. Dorai for having sent Mrs. David and Rev. Mrs. Sudamani Dorai who could not come to Germany due to medical reasons. We have missed her very much.
