Ottstedt / Magdala Germany
Evangelical Lutheran
The Parish has reinstated a Child Bishop tradition. One of more children are chosen to fulfill the role communicating the needs and concerns of children to adults. Resulting projects have included a new children's garden, purchase of sports equipment, a streetlight at a school crossing, funds to support orphans in Chernobyl and tsunami relief. The young bishops take responsibility for others and learn to articulate their desires and goals.
