Bedford-Strohm: I am a Tiny House in the country for the active Weltkirche

There are wars between the Landesbischof and EKD-Ratsvorsitzender: In seinem Ruhestand, Heinrich Bedford-Strohm from Munich to Mecklenburg has been sucked – into two Bauwagen. The Weltkirchenrat is from the heart of the world.

Statt greater Altbauwohnung in English Garten jetzt few Quadratmeter in two Bauwagen: Environments of Feldern and Wiesen, Wäldern and Seen, Eseln and Ponys haben Heinrich Bedford-Strohm and seine Ehefrau Deborah in Mecklenburg ihr new Zuhause gefunden. “Of the many layers and herrlicher Natur umgeben zu sein, gibt mir Kraft for everything Engagement, dem ich mich jetzt ehrenamtlich widme”, says the 64-year-old über the Schritt of the Großstadt in Süden in a Dorf in Nordosten Deutschlands.

“I don’t miss Davon at all”

Im Tiny House on the Bio-Ferienhof of the Schwester has a family with a family who perhaps moved a few years later. “We were always happy and since we were always happy.” So if the writing has been written correctly, after all, we will continue to live in Mecklenburg.

The Umzug has a Loslassen-bedeutet: A large part of the Möbel has the three best results, around 70 percent of his books have found a way, a few interesting or a Libraries. “We have the feeling, we will all the things we do, who had in our larger Wohnung, not to Leben brauchen”, said Bedford-Strohm.

It is not possible to create a living situation in which you can no longer eat. They fell away during the day, in their time as Bischof they were now in their absence in the living room. The couple with a click on a family member is one of the root causes of the «Lebbarkeit des Amtes infrage». «I was in dieser Hinsicht kein Vorbild», says Bedford-Strohm, from 2011 to 2023, Bayerische Landesbischof-War and from 2014 to 2021 Ratsvorsitzender of the Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland (EKD).

Trotz des Ruhestands is active again

Call on the Bauwagen who supports the Theologian of the Church. Seit zwei Jahren is a Vorsitzender of the Zentralausschussen of the Ökumenische Rats der Kirchen (ÖRK). The world church has a shared relationship with 352 countries in more than 120 countries and all continents have more than 580 million Christian worlds. An engagement, that is – neben den Auslandsreisen – vale Stunden in der Woche in Anspruch nimmt. «My wife says I like it: ‚Jetzt has your normal full-time job.’»

If you report Bedford-Strohm at the congress and in the Vorträgen about the activities of the ÖRK in the Nahost-Konflikt, in the Russian Angriffskrieg in the Ukraine or at the Friedensprozess in Kolumbien. The work in the world of the world resembles the problem of our own context. In 1960 a professor for systematic theology was born in Memmingen, who for that fachberich an außerordentliche professor at the University of Stellenbosch (South Africa) and an honorary professor at the University of Bamberg had innehat.

If you want to use this theme, it is a matter of more Wort-meldet – regularity on Facebook. “I am more free, but I am not alone with others.”

“Bayern stays close to home”

So it is a bigger problem when the problem occurs. Man can dispose of migration and flight policy streaks, “a man can no longer weld this man”. As EKD-Ratsvorsitzender Bedford-Strohm has recruited for the Einsatz der Kirche for Geflüchtete on the Middenmeer and has received war to get criticism.

Outside of his focus: Ecology and Climate Protection. There are some nice things and some things you can do, and if you continue with the creation like this, then they will both have a good time in a few years. That won’t happen!» These themes see “not summaries, they are personal and leave the Einsatz every Einzelnen”.

Gerade weil de großen Fragen ihn immer nor herausforderten, täten die Nature, de Tiere, das «Sein-dürfen» of the mecklenburgischen Ferienhof seiner Seele gut, sagt der Theoloog. “Aber Bayern bleibt auch meine Heimat.” Deshalb hätten seine Frau under ein Ein-Zimmer-apartment in Munich behalten – «as Basis für Bavaria».
