Opinions

"What does the congregation think about find the modern form? Much better than expected. The older members are more openminded to it than the younger ones. The foreigners also show a great openmindness. The people like to go together to the service at the Edith-Stein Church. The impressive, cheerful room has a great effect. The window makes an immediate impression. The colourful doors do as well. Some people are fascinated by the processional cross. The Easter lights impress as well as the well proportioned altar. Not too few notice that everything has a noble form and organization. Some people even notice for themselves the basic intention of the form."
