Conference for German

Conference for German,
Austrian and Swiss women

By Silvia Mair

WORMS, Germany—Twenty-eight women from Germany, Austria and Switzerland met for a retreat in the historical city of Worms May 4 to 6.

The coordinator was Rosl Mittag. On Sunday, May 6, Erna Voth, a professional spiritual adviser, spoke on Our Relationship to God.

Mrs. Voth showed 10 points that should help women to see how to improve or change their relationship to God.

The points were: 1) Having time for God, 2) Being open for God, 3) Fellowship with God, 4) Searching for the will of God, 5) Changing wrong pictures we have made of God, 6) Trusting in God, 7) Being thankful to God, 8) Motivation, 9) Asking for forgiveness and 10) Understanding God (as much as he has revealed himself to us).

One afternoon the women visited the historical parts of Worms (the Catholic cathedral, the Protestant monument to Martin Luther and the Jewish cemetery).

One evening Rosl Mittag led a discussion circle about prayer, and afterward the women prayed in small groups.

On the last day, Ursula Lehnert, a member of the Stuttgart, Germany, congregation, gave a seminar about forgiving.
