leverage on with the wood there's to us that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on dw, the when it was, if jesus, what happened about today? i'm certain he'd use a bicycle. definitely. oh good. traditionally chris skin pilgrims have reached that destinations on the photo, but this gets up and go pasta from the very i propose wheels. if i don't need to at

a time lutheran pasta, your goodness is germany's cycling pilgrim pioneer. but he's not the only one cycling for christ. mountain shots, the racing through germany on a bicycle is a can to probably the only content on a bicycle. and here's lutheran preacher function, ida exercising his ministry. and one of the 1st cycle policy strategies situated on the ota died, the christine ministry on a bicycle is not really appropriate. definitely says pasta michelle stall fees even written a book about it. i just skipped so by speeding the 6th of easy enough and he'll just look at the bible story of how jesus enter jerusalem. and the gospel say he entered the city on a donkey coating in those days. kings entered cities like jerusalem on horseback. if it was an but jesus still deliberately chose a simple, gentle means of transport, a slow donkey. and that was how he entered jerusalem. and what could be more

appropriate than exchanging the biblical donkey for the modern bike is a to come the saint catharines, one of the 5 main lutheran churches in handbook on this occasion, bicycles don't have to stay outside. psych colors are invited to bring them into the charge for the service. the it's part of a campaign to persuade the city to adopt climate friendly transports. the lutheran parishes. want to highlight the use of binds and then this by can service will be celebration,

bringing out bicycle bills and praise the bell. instructions proof purchase a behind the career house. feel free to join in the, in house time and pasta carolyn's how tall is a parallel between buying tools and the handbook area and the freedom that called kids to people, the partners to house full speed ahead and we have finished the wheels to sluggishly, but instead of leaving system do this to feel the head wind on your face and the resistance of daniel now. and then by my experiences particularly strongly on the font individual, i get moving. i'm very aware of myself. i feel myself as a person, the flesh and blood can we think from the body to realize with your body. there's

a 1000 balance of flaws. don't say half as much as a single hot field hug. then jumping into the elbow off to some of the font to us is more about how good kids in freeze. you can sort of see and electrical tracing the i'm a cyclist myself and i ride my bike to work every day. i think it's really great and it fits the theme of working for our environment. recreation is we stay in the church that's very important. we were able to celebrate it today or to from, from the few, into the saddle and all to a rally the, the initiate to face mass demonstration is michelle star, lutheran pasta from hamburg. some 30 years ago,

he attended the weld climate summit. it was the trigger for him to understand climate protection. as a christian responsibility, the, the humble of bicycle riley is very political. it's delta. now with being run over by a car, through the kitchen and goes in the churches commitment to protecting the climate is not primarily political on. we're motivated by theological, religious reasons. one god has entrusted the world to watch and we want to maintain and protect the or that includes climate protection much want to me the fact that we're moving away from the automobile and promoting other means of transport, such as the bicycle as an expression of payments and also the one is from glum. michelle shaw has been bringing this police to the streets ever since. his face results in very concrete secular transport policy

or at least inspires in the guitar. it's because we'll have to buy this as a church. we're helping to get people to think about cycling or unnecessary change of mindset to occur. this with the bible says in various places that we must re thing if we want to live on or me. cycling is a way of re thinking so as to live, a means of gentle mobility that i believe the bible encourages us to practice. even on step one, cycling is an opportunity to follow jesus consistently in our daily lives. with consequentialism, i testified the a, a lutheran church, and again in this state of sense to me on how monte insured. so it has travelled here to play the organ,

some 200 kilometers bike. that's no big deal to show to these mainly interested in the 18th century instrument that is coming into play the most. it shouldn't be take some getting used to, but it's a really great instrument. and also in terms of the time you can do a kind of an amount with that. let me do a quick calculation. 12345678910, including must multiple times. we have a bunch of 1000 sound possibilities here on the orbit. move. describe the monkey. so it's uh, gives an organ recycling and a sonata by mendelson bottle and then he comes back on his bike and rights to the

next judge. he has been on the road since 2011 peddling, 15000 kilometers each year. is a bicycle kind of a germany. this is high performance sports, but it's also connected to his christian faith. when i think of the many guardian angels i've encountered in my life and then when you go to pay the evening off to doing a really tough stretch it when you do 300 kilometers a day, our training stretch, like i used to do some full 100 kilometers a day in 20 hours. it makes you realize what color is even when they're even going to be because the energy, the do they want to test and kind of cheat for that. so the engine, men's order more to uh, look at shop the what is the weeks that when you're cycling in the shop, you can really enjoyed creation the ocean smells the colors of nature. you never see from a train or con, let you experience that's a lot more and a by that's when i become aware of the diversity of creation,

the greatest joy. if you fight a shuffle to florida, the image and dealt with psych listed. and we're on the road a lot so it suits us and the tools are appropriate for the church. you'll see that it seems church can be a bit different. not just a pastor in robust preaching from the front, but quite casually, and cyclists short time with his bike in here. we're seeing this for the 1st time that it's great and it's modern and it's interesting on getting the site, the for the job of and i to enter into organized monte insurance, gave up his permanent post as cancel with a might tom, the idea of fucking up to 27, to help them understand it. i had

a full time position as a church musician for almost 20 years until after about 5 years. so i don't know if i realized to the full time position as a powers come to. so it's not necessarily what i wanted. i would never gets around to doing what i love most. that is playing the organ as much as possible. i had so many other responsibilities my duty, it's always comes to in my 1st post and i'm back in nic. and would it became clear to me that i prefer or less demanding positions where i'd simply have more time to play the organ. also in other churches there is no longer a lack of that, at least in the summer months when shops of visits, thousands of challenges, the to this nice little list, there's usually a bit of a low point where you tell yourself you've been on the road for 3 or 4 months now, sleeping in a different bed every night, meeting different people every day. but that policy is very quickly annoyed as restaurants when i get back home in september of to 2 weeks of the latest. i get

restless. i'm wanting to get out on the road to get speed off and i should only depend on kind of in the bavarian woods, people are not in such a hardy. the cyclists are content with between 60 and 80 kilometers a day. some of them have already completed the camino de santiago, the pilgrimage to santiago to compose tele that leader is lutheran pasta and, and tuesday asked exciter list your goodness. the pasta on 2 wheels says cycling helps him chill and find in a pace and pick a big hot, including the kind of girl, basically a pilgrimage doesn't have ambitious goals fight. it allows you time. so i

understand that it's strength to outside of the you have a journey, you take your time and you have a landscape that does you good that go to the lot and algorithms are invited to seek silence and enjoy a dilemma or discipline. and that's what we call pilgrim mode and now is this, the god, the altitude isn't important as before. how many kilometers you achieve in a day to fix the weather is unimportant. you just set off with vendor. and when you sit down somewhere in grass and whey comes, you realize that your head has adopted and of this. so ticking austin, it's is relaxed and sociable. tools are popular and all just with members of his own church, people have all the denominations also wants to participate in the cycling pilgrimages and slow down mentally that so when you

go ahead and vote by chance, i had you're going to come through z ethically about his id or pilgrimage village festival. and austin was fontaine is slightly older. we didn't actually know each other in time. catholic if i could join in respect to stuff more than just said i could distance learning to calm me down for the 1st minute. then usually i'm very hectic, engine fold. it when i saw it behind the pasta. and i don't even think about where we're heading into fine. she's in charge and i'm immediately improved remote order . i can just let go. and that's important. tell me what's left out. this is mia. we stick. let's just, uh the name is 5 them. for me. the takeaway is contact with other pilgrims east installation. essentially with people i normally have nothing to do with people. i don't know which about what because as i said the 1st time i went on the assign king pilgrimage,

i felt totally relaxed very soon. but the pipe product, i enjoyed just being that not having to do anything fine, not having to organize anything to say it. and it was just wonderful. but you can see on 5 points even if you cycle and relatively fast in pilgrims times, the experience puts you in touch with yourself as many po, trends report, or do you feel open to it? nature will provide you with spiritual experiences, especially in restaurants, along the way. each stage includes a stop at the church. some of these are protestant places of worship. others are catholic, like send both guns chapel, inbound voice call from the pilgrims rest. yeah, of to the physical exemption piece comes in silence.

the the the finally the pilgrim possible it so stamped this document is important. it serves as a letter of recommendation when they're looking for accommodation. it's also

a touching, remind to the challenges along the way that's a good sized discussion of i'm there mostly things using twin w from yada. you can often sense in churches like these that prayers have been said here for hundreds of years. it throats about in times of real need when people's daily lives were threatened by diseases for which there wasn't any remedy. by war and by bandits or whatever. or this adventure, ease of prayer are contained inside these wall. compete if one yahoo conducting twins and on that you can really sense that there could be above him on stuff outside of your lifestyle. and perhaps for the 1st time in a long while people turn to their heavenly father in prayer. it moves and falls on model, or they light a candle and think of someone who needs a lot of help right now and then mention things to get started on the screen for

the whole. thanks to you again, it's phase now a dense network of cycling pilgrimage roots in south and germany move in full 1000 kilometers. and the roots assign, posted with the traditional pilgrim symbol. this is tyson, so it's a sorry, this sign indicates an official long distance cycle round leading cyclists onto the camino they santiago. pick a, pick a few of these a size that it's, it's an aluminum insert in the existing sine showing that cycle rattled that 15 and about finding the right pops and sign posting them. it's a lot of work. it's only possible with the support of many volunteers. emission must be sold from wellstar, which is the whole exercise cost. lots of money. that's why the

project looked likely to fail until an anonymous donor knocked one day on yoga nits is don't know how big a sec. okay, said, let's not beat around the bush and one is 25000 euro is enough to and then i have excel. i must have looked like mary when she heard from the archangel gabriel that she was going to have a child as it helped. i couldn't believe it at all. then he said, i'm serious. i'd expect this mind. i want this network to be created to the pieces that and suddenly we had 25000 euro sends and songs these thousands. i don't the money was well, invest in the cycle pilgrimage, roadside become a tourist magnets. many pilgrims cycle independently on this line posted routes, but then they missed the thoughts that passed and it's chance with his fellow pilgrims each day. so of the

year he reflects on peace sutherland and dream content in $1648.00 in the 30 years . war was finally over. is it seems linda, this piece linden is an old 3 now. and there was gratitude and it spark when the dunc buckeye gratitude for peace inside out into the time for kids to feed. that's something we also desire very strongly. yeah. oh moment. yes. the desire for peace, the hope for peace in russia and ukraine, those london, north carolina. meanwhile, 800 kilometers away on germany's eastern border. the yeah, there's a judge. a a cycle top church,

one of the 350 in germany. this is keen, it's in brandon book. the challenge was badly damaged during the 2nd world war identity poppy rebuilds the from time to time. judge surfaces are held here is also a big annual celebration with lots of music. the village is small, but the church is called the. this is allowed to do to mazda functionality, to a popular preacher. you mentioned hosta warmongers to cooks those who have no respect for people. and

there's one man at the top of my list as well most i just i know the to whole warmongers who threaten to persecute who capture until they exist. built proteins will the diabolical seeds that put into some germinate these by ringing discord and strife violence to our country or the whole of europe must done so the whole part spit to go from getting talked. i ask god every day that this doesn't happen. then you go, but i believe that only if we stand together in love and install a dirty with each other justly and peacefully. that's right now with this time and stand together, the sea will not terminate. but these ok mission of then the free world can standing together in love and peace and freedom um seats. this

arrogance man is a girlfriend's. i'm who and also i often hearing the strong ones, the congregation is invited to take coffee and the judge grounds where everybody is . welcome. due to 5, we went and the other direction along the older dike and the now when i way back on time it's because after we just wanted to see what else the place has to offer or not and how do you like it? do you the church is beautiful and thoughtful. i by i drove it this way. i sometimes ride around over here to i don't cycle very far just around the area to take a look and what, what those funds you have on. because sometimes i meet someone i know most a little time. you take the bike when the weather's nice out on them. i have a chance today, and here today is a cycle pump church. that means it must be open, at least from east to the reformation day. at the end of october,

it's an invitation to pilgrim cyclists to stop and rest. the judging keen, it says ideally located directly on the popular for the nicer cycle route because somebody told me to use it and guess the board and off and the system is i like reading the guest book just of it to this is the 2nd or 3rd time i've read it and it pleases me with people, right? the life of the police and these are all not required room up there. the cafe down here. that's something you don't find everywhere. there's a 100 minus us and it was a lot going on. so that with my, almost the whole world is represented in this book. japanese people have signed it a lot of americans, people from the czech republic component of course because here were so close to the border and it was, oh my gosh, no to about 9. some people write things like i have to reconsider being a christian. or i haven't been to church for a long time. i'm here. i could be all alone with nobody looking. i think that's

also a good thing. that's good. there is no organ named keen, it's so monte insurance has never visited the village. today. he's talking to ok, it's a short distance from multiple people, right? the organ there some years ago. great. i haven't been here for a long time. i hope everything's working. the 1st thing he wants to do is try out the organ of the

nice, the, an interesting organ and into the asked eco audience that sold the bicycle content needs when he's on the road. certainly not a luxury hotel. mine is suspended for an hour then mostly i sleep in the past, his household or of the big crowd of the people in the village of a sped bed in that home is the busy come. a relatively simple human being can design as, as i usually have my sleeping bag with me, but it's a die. i don't need it. color yes. and no pods at all. however, it's on the back of the bike. one contents was a mattress, a wall at the top, and the toilet is sort of institutional and if it isn't, there's no spot, they don't come in my mid fifties now, and i intend to continue doing this for another 20 years. i see if i might have

weeks of lana. i'm on the road so much that i get to know lots of instrument. that kind of there are incredible jims in the villages, especially restaurants, because i don't know the top of that sort of. i mean, it's a great variety of people. that's a great the, the, the

most space for every one. major cities around the world are racing to reinvest themselves. radical projects and round rates and vision costs becoming obsolete. the future of sub and life.
