Come and hear Martha tell us how they were faced with the stark reality of the declining institutional Church, and what they chose to do about it.<br>
<br>
They will speak about disobedience.<br>
<br>
The Spirit led them to found Wir Sind Kirche, We Are Church Austria. This was shortly followed by We Are Church International, of which Martha is currently Vice-Chair. They meet regularly to celebrate the Eucharist in their homes. <br>
<br>
Come and meet Martha and Gert to hear about their do-it-yourself spiritual journey, and to ask them what we, as true followers of Jesus, may also do.</span></span><br>
