The Tribes of Israel reconsidered: The new way into the New Jerusalem

​The way of Reuben

In Chapter 21 of The Revelation to John we read part of the description of the New Jerusalem, a picture of a mighty vision experienced by John in the Spiritual World: “The city has a great and high wall and twelve gates. And on the gates twelve angels, and names were written on them: the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.”

Gospel Study of Luke's Gospel
​The Gospel Study began the study of the Gospel of Luke in the second half of 2022. After considering the stories surrounding the birth of John the Baptist and of Jesus in Bethlehem, we embarked on the study of the main purpose that Luke tells of in his introduction, to provide a very specific understanding based on the path that he has trodden.

The Christmas theme: The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac
​Rev. Michaël Merle gave nine talks during the Holy Nights on the signs of the Zodiac. The purpose of these talks was to introduce the great imaginations that lived behind these signs for the Ancient Mesopotamian people who recognised that in the stars above there were divine influences that radiated down to the earth in a very particular way as the sun progressed across the sky in the course of year, but more importantly as the axis of the earth pointed into a particular part of the night sky.

The Advent of Christ in the Healing Process
by Rev. Michaël Merle
Reported by John-Peter Gernaat

This is a series of three talks that explores the advent of Christ in the three healing processes as described by Theophrastus von Hohenheim, probably better known as Paracelsus.

​Christ in the healing processes brings faith in the salt process, hope in the mercury process and love with the burning sulphur process.

Striving to realise our full humanity
by Rev. Michaël Merle
​

On the first day of the year 2023, some in our community gathered after community tea-time that follows The Act of Consecration of Man to consider the year ahead in terms of the theme: “What must die and What may not die? How to create space for the new”. Having considered the habits, attitudes, actions and interactions that were considered harmful, hurtful and unhelpful on the previous evening, old year’s night, the new year’s day gathering concentrated on what must not die: that which must make our year ever more alive, prosperous (as in, able to thrive), blessed and happy.

A hopeful glance to the Future – a review of the LOGOS Conference in Dortmund in October 2022
by Rev. Andreas van Breda

Autumn in Germany emerges gradually: the Sun rises that bit later every day, the air is fresh and somewhat cool and the leaves on the tree’s burst into bright colours of red, orange and gold, a last flourish before the winter comes.

In this festive mood two-thousand-three-hundred-and-fifty-six people descended upon the Logos Conference in Dortmund from thirty-eight countries, with a hopeful glance towards the future. Both young and old were to share five intense and joyful days together, having travelled from all corners of the world.
