Franz von Assisi - Freiheit und Geschwisterlichkeit in der Kirche

What fascinates the world today about Francis of Assisi? What could a church in his spirit look like? Niklaus Kuster approaches these questions in three steps. He shows - how Francis himself found true freedom in the "footsteps of Jesus", - what characterises the early Franciscan movement: Trust in the inspiration of every person, fraternal openness to all, courage for a self-confident church from below, distance from any kind of clerical arrogance, freedom of development for women, respect for other religions and joy in the beauty of creation, - where "Francis of Rome" shows his Franciscan profile: in the love of poverty, committed to peace, ecologically careful and in a fraternity that should characterise the Church "in head and members".
