For decades people, regardless of their gender and way of life, have together given the church a face. Many who come into contact with the local church have had good experiences with theologians, catechists and other called people in our parishes, adult education and hospitals. These experiences have broken the link between biological sex and the special vocation to sacramental mission.<\/p>\n
We are convinced that what needs to be transformed must be put on the table right now: if we, as the Church, want to stand up for the dignity of all people, we must clean up our own house and make sure that equal dignity also leads to equal rights.\u00a0 For this reason, and from the perception of the discrepancy between what is permitted under canon law and what is pastorally necessary, we want to make a contribution to a sustainable Church with our thoughts and actions. A Church that dares to think and tackle new things and learns to recognise diversity as an opportunity anew \u2013 with God’s help.<\/p>\n

The #JuniaInitiative observes these developments with concern. The people behind the Initiative perceive a sacramental hunger in congregations, communities and institutions and are concerned that precious experiences of the divine presence are being abandoned in favor of the preservation of the system. It wants to find a way beyond the linking of ministry, consecration, power and gender, for the disastrous consequences of this linkage have become increasingly apparent in recent years.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”26px”]More information<\/a>[\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”element_from_fade” css=”.vc_custom_1569848040650{padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;}” transition_delay=”300″][vc_column_inner][qode_elements_holder number_of_columns=”two_columns” switch_to_one_column=”1000″][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”middle” advanced_animations=”no” item_padding=”0 60px 0 0″ item_padding_1024_1280=”37px 60px 0 0″ item_padding_768_1024=”0 20px 50px 0″ item_padding_600_768=”0 20px 50px 0″ item_padding_480_600=”0 0 50px 0″ item_padding_480=”0 0 50px 0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1570015920322{margin-top: -10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”21px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Hier erz\u00e4hlen sendungsbereite Frauen* von ihrer Berufung zur sakramentalen Sendung und ihrem Wirken in der Kirche.
