Big questions. Open conversations. New perspectives.

What gives my life meaning?
Does God really exist?
Where is God when people suffer?
Who is Jesus – and what does he have to do with me?
What does forgiveness mean?
And what happens after death?

Wir laden dich ein zum gemeinsamen Lunch und kommen dabei ganz unkompliziert miteinander ins Gespräch.

Faith & Fiction Reading Lounge

What happens when literature asks the big questions of life? How can stories and personal writings open up new perspectives on faith, doubt, hope and the search for meaning?

On Tuesday evenings, we’ll read and discuss texts by three very different authors:

  • William P. Young – The Shack
  • Etty Hillesum – The Diaries
  • Stephen E. King - selected short stories

Three perspectives, three literary worlds and very different ways of approaching God, faith and life.

Come along, share your thoughts and discover how literature can raise new questions and open up unexpected perspectives on faith and life.

No previous knowledge required. Materials provided.

When? Every Tuesday, from 20 October 2026, 6:30–8 pm (9 evenings in total)

Paul's Pilgrimage

"To the unknown god...What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you."
(Acts 17:23)

Follow the Apostle Paul on his journey through Greece.

We go to places that were anything but perfect – cities full of chaos, conflict, and real people. That is exactly where Paul founded a community. Not saints. But people like us.

This journey is not a vacation. And it is not a pious leisure trip either.

It is an invitation:
👉 to take an honest look
👉 to be on a journey – both outwardly and inwardly
👉 to rediscover your own path

👥 for young people aged 16–30
📅 October 18–25, 2026
📍Athens • Corinth • Peloponnese
💶 €599 (up to age 25) / €659 (age 26 and above) (instead of € 1.249)

Included:
✈️ Round-trip flight
🍽️ Half board
🚌 Local transfers

Am Sonntag, den 21. Juni findet ab 15 Uhr ein Info Nachmittag im CRUX Café statt, wo du offene Fragen stellen kannst. Einfach vorbeikommen.
