2. Post it: Garden gnome versus pickup
What`s up now? I think there`s already a big bridge between the American and the German culture. Everybody knows a little bit about the other side. But also both ends have their own funny, interesting and sometimes paradoxical ways of thinking. There`s a lot to talk about. I get the chance to experience for the next 5 month a new environment here in Kennett Square (small town very close to Philadelphia). But I`m fairly interested in your opinion. We are a part of a world, which is getting closer and closer. What is your perspective about the role of church into an international Context of a postmodern world? What would you change if you got chance to do it?
Do you think that are to big issues to talk about? You are right. We also have to speak about very normal stuff like why the Americans don`t have good jogging paths in their beautiful forests, and why they drive big cars if they always drive slowly? Are Germans really narrow minded and do they like to have garden gnomes in the front of their house?

Welcome to my blog,


“German pastor meets American church”… I want to share my thoughts of my experience as a German pastor during an internship at a Church in Pennsylvania, USA. This Blog will give you two perspectives: First, German thoughts about American culture in a fascinating evangelical church. Second: You will be able to experience my world back in Regensburg, Germany. Sometimes, these perspectives will be the same, and other times they will challenge your thinking as the perspectives may appear to contradict each other. Let`s get into a global view of different churches that share that same Faith.
