On Sunday, Feb. 23, at 10 a.m., the Stevenskerk is the setting for a special celebration that follows Jan van Teeffelen's impressive photo exhibition. City Church, City Monastery Mariken and House of Compassion invite you to both look at the exhibition with different eyes and let the photographs speak to the meaning of spirituality and compassion.
Just as Jan van Teeffelen's camera zooms in on the strength and joy of the people of Nijmegen, the celebration zooms in on the deep-rooted DNA of Nijmegen as a city of compassion. Inspiring texts, music and concrete projects focus on the virtue of compassion, a value anchored in all world religions and an essential part of being human.
Everyone is welcome on Feb. 23 to be inspired this morning and to be moved by the interaction between art, spirituality and compassion.
Watching via streaming is also possible. Go to www.stadskloostermariken.nl/vieringen
This celebration marks the start of a series of gatherings that seek to connect the secular programming of the Steven Church with the spiritual dimension of City Church and City Monastery Mariken.
