 Gretel Timan was a young girl when Germany split into the East and the West. As the West prospered under the Marshal Plan beginning in 1948, life in the East, ruled by Russia and Russian educated Communists, became more and more difficult. Travel between the West and East was increasingly restricted and a wall was erected by the East which included flood lights, watchtowers, dogs and finally a mined death strip. and tensions increased even more following Stalin's death in 1953. Current estimates are that 1,000 people lost their lives and thousands were imprisoned. Three million out of eighteen million East German citizens eventually fled to the West, mostly through Berlin until the second Wall was erected on August 13th, 1963. Both walls fell in 1989 and Gretel returned a year later to meet with people who had remained . She will talk about her experience , impressions and insights.

 July 9, 2017
9:15 Discussion Group Topic:
10:30 Service:—  Dr. William Lazarus, “Adam & Eve: The Story Behind the Myth”    Although the biblical story of Adam and Eve serves as the cornerstone of Western religion and the starting point of human history, it has rarely been examined from linguistic and historical perspectives.  A fresh examination reveals that everything ever taught about the account of the fall from paradise is wrong.
