Kathrin Kühl: New places in Demmin - pastoral care and digitization in focus

Kathrin Kühl will be officially introduced by Demmin on Saturday. The 51-year-old theologian, who previously worked in Vellahn-Pritzier, Marlow and Hagenow, takes on the role of Gerd Panknin's hands, who retired in May. Bishop Tilman Jeremias will lead the introductory ceremony in the St. Bartholomai Church. As a last position, Kühl brings experiences from the regional church office, where it was responsible for the staff and budget of the Nordkirche.

In her new role, cool sees the challenges of the membership loss and the loss of trust in the church. She emphasizes that her task will be aside to people in pastoral care and advice. In addition, she plans to take care of digitization and alternative sources of financing for the Provstei, which includes 24,000 church members and 43 parishes, including Demmin, Altentreptow, Greifswald and Volgast. This change is perceived as a significant step in the region, as reported .
