The world is changing rapidly and the places of refuge known to us are becoming increasingly alien to us. More and more people no longer feel at home in traditional church institutions. In Switzerland, one in five citizens already states that they no longer belong to a religious community. There reasons for leaving the Church are manifold, but only in the rarest of cases does it combine with a renunciation of faith or spirituality. So how can these needs be met? We need people who can open up new places of refuge for us in an eventful time with serious and conscientious rituals: Celebrants.
