Brockhagen: Invitation to an intensive course on apostolic church history!
On September 13, 2025, we will be offering a new format at the Brockhagen Archive—a full-day event entitled “Introduction to Apostolic Church History.” This day offers a structured introduction to the history of the Catholic Apostolic movement and the communities that emerged from it. It is therefore a “crash course” that aims to summarize the most important aspects of apostolic history from its beginnings in the 1820s and 1830s to the present day.
