Since November 2020, we have been in lively exchange with Father Abraham Fischer. The monk and priest is also a master smith and head of the monastery smithy at the Benedictine monastery Königsmünster in North Rhine-Westphalia.
At our digital network meeting, it became clear that the monasteries - whether as cultural and meeting places or with a living religious community on site - may dare and are even called upon to offer a contrasting programme. To do this, they should question what their focus has been up to now and dare to choose a focus of their own that will make them an authentic place. A place where openness and hospitality set the tone.
