1.30pm – St George’s German Lutheran Church in the International Mix of Welfare - Anette Jäger, historian and Friend of St. George’s

St George’s Church had a long tradition of welfare care. This solidarity with others repeatedly brought the Church into the centre of amazing national and international cooperation between 1764 and 1940. Hear more about the links to William Wilberforce, the Napoleonic Wars, the rescue of people left stranded by unscrupulous agents and the aid given to Protestants who had to flee Nazi Germany.
