First two days were devoted to reports from different countries and churches. Every one country presented their work with children in church, but also presented own country and church. We gained a knowledge about the way of life other inhabitants, what kind of problems are in specific church. The main, biggest problem of Lutheran Churches in Europe is secularization, same-sex marriages and loss of Christian Lutheran identity.
Beside workshops and presentations of creative work activities there was a time for Bible study and lectures. Our first attention was focused on child (growth and gradual physical and spiritual maturation), then we expanded our attention on the whole family, meaning of family for spiritual growth of children. Next subject was „living in Palestine/Israel“ at the time when Jesus told the Parables. Very interesting and practical was lecture about ability of child not only received by faith but also made a visual image according to hearing words. Every one has own personal idea of God and especially a children and we have to count with it.
On Sunday we were on the Worship service in church congregation Sacele. Then on the afternoon we visited city Brašov and we had a city tour and then we climbed on the hill Tampa, which rises above the city.
During evenings the participants discussed about actual problems of Christianity and about upcoming 500th anniversary of Reformation. About the anniversary we have to speak also in Sunday school. Significance and possible ways how to celebrate the Anniversary of Reformation approached Štefan Kiss from Slovakia. Closing evening was devoted personal testimony and prayers for all member countries and churches, for all christians and for children in the world.
