Ungewöhnliche Gottesdienste - Von Harry Potter bis Motorrad: Fantasie für die Kirche - Politik

Albersweiler/Klausen (dpa/lrs) – Dutzende electric Kerzen hang in der Church in Albersweiler (Landkreis Südliche Weinstraße) and transparent Schnüren, which are also visible, as würden on their webs – appropriate decoration for the first Harry Potter Gottes service in Ort. “Unsere Kirche hat mich schon immer an die Große Halle erinnert,” said Pfarrerin Andrea Cordas. If the Veranstaltung is organized: One of the Predigts, then 15 interactive stations, the Bible and Harry Potter at a few moments bring fun. “It is important to play a game so that there is a sense of happiness, appropriate for the House in Harry Potter,” says Cordas. Dazu: Brausepulver-Zaubertränke and self-made Quidditch-Tore.

Zauberspruch-Fürbitten and the motivation of the lie

Inspired by Cordas from another Harry Potter service in the Palatinate, adapted from Pfarrerin Ute Metzger. “Expecto Patronum” is the motto of the years in the community in Bockenheim – a magic story, a spiritual legacy in the Büchern. “The Anrufen des Schutzgeistes – we live in the Bible,” said Metzger. For the Botschaften der Romane en der Kirche it was striking: “That strong motivation of the lie, for the man who offers it, has its origins in the Bible and in those books.”

The Fürbitten wrote the Pfarrerin matching the Zaubersprüchen with “Lumos” and “Expelliarmus”, which is a small Luftballon in Eulenform and Hogwarts-Banner. Fully visit the place where the church is located in the small surroundings. “We could have known our own feelings about the Tour. Ich hatte Anfragen von Süddeutschland bis Norddeutschland,” said that Pfarrerin. “It is a challenge, people will rise to it. It is open and clear: Glaube und Liebe is not relevant.”

Raus from the Kirchenmauern

Those two Pfarrerinnen have not died, the classic classical predicates have passed away. I am a car scooter on the Bad Kreuznacher market or directly to the fitness studio in Dudenhofen near Speyer: Gottesdienste no longer finds the length in the Kirche-statt. Solche creative formats were found well, it is vom Bistum Trier: Der Bezug zum Glauben und de zum eigenen Leben kommen dabei demnach besonders eng jijzuammen.

The Evangelical Church of the Palatinate sees it as follows: “Glauben und Gemeinschaft sind nicht a Kirchenmauern gebunden und no exclusive Angebote, without an Angebot, an Einladung an alle Menschen”, it is clear a speech. If people have performed a classical service, the Church may know them.

Spiritueller Whiskey and Weihwasser for Motorrad

Who will play in the Saarland Merzig: At the end of October we will be there for a Whiskey Drinks Service including Irish music and exciting sales – and black “unanimous wines of the trade”. If the idea is a book about the spirituality of whiskeys, there is a Prädikantin Silja Pagel. The spirit and the shine are some of the other themes Achtsamkeit and Genuss. “If a man has a Whiskey Runterkippt, man does not notice Davon,” he explains. Beim menschlichen Miteinander sei das geauso: „Now, when I am here and Jetzt within, I can enjoy my life.“

If you notice that it is nothing, nothing new has been found, but Glauben in other Worte of Packen and the Fokus on the Allergy of your legend. I wanted to know that the interest in a Whiskey Gottesdienst was great, and that they were new and that I was going to Pagel later. “It was fundamentally different, but that Rückmeldung. One thing is clear: Wenn Gottesdienst was happier, I would be happier in the Church.”

Other unusual services are based on a long tradition. In Klausen (Bernkastel-Wittlich District) in Beispiel: Jedes Frühjahr comes from the Motorradwallfahrt and the tausend Biker or more in the small Ort – seit fast 30 Jahren. First a Messe an der frischen Luft with E-Guitarre, Schlagzeug und Zuhörern in Motorradkluft, then a Segnung für die Zweiräder. “I am on the road with a message and my biker is happy,” said Father Albert Seul, the priest in Klausen. Beim Segnen does not spare money laundering and pushes the intestines. “I am Ende all the way. That is a Gaudi factor.”

“Kein Himmlischer Spielverderber”

If all goes well, Kirche is one of the few serious themes you can think of, such as Spaß machen und kein reines Pflichtprogramma sein. “Für mich ist der Liebe Gott kein Himmlischer Spielverderber”, it says. If the motorradwallfahrt has the power of the priest, then this is a Traktorwallfahrt. “If you use a Camper-camper and can create a Camper-Segnung zu machen.”

Auch Pfarrerin Ute Metzger has a different idea. Anfang 2025 is a new version of Harry Potter Gottesdienstes, first in Bockenheim and then in Ludwigshafen. Zwar sei danach was Schluss’s first time at Hogwarts. Once you’ve made it through the frost, you can play the game with Star Wars or the Lord of the Rings. If you see a parallel version of the Bible. And: “I was happy to be part of an ABBA-Gottesdienst relationship.”
