Brunnen: un puits d’initiatives inspirées par la foi

À Harare, on l’appelait Padare – une procession publique célébrant un jour ou un événement spécial; à Porto Alegre, Mutirao – célébrer et réfléchir ensemble; à Busan, c’était Madang – la cour traditionnelle, un espace de délibération, de célébration et de fraternité. Et maintenant, à Karlsruhe, c’est Brunnen – un puits sur la place du marché.

And now in Karlsruhe, it is Brunnen —a well in the marketplace.
