Last but not least: What really happens behind monastery walls
Most people only know what goes on behind monastery walls from movies like *The Name of the Rose* or TV series such as *For Heaven’s Sake*. A Capuchin friar now wants to change that and, through a weekly talk show, show what life in a monastery is really like.
From September, the format entitled "Lebensweisen" will be offered to public and private television stations. If all goes well, the production will be shown from Advent. The format was launched by Brother Paulus Terwitte. Together with others, he founded a production company at the end of June.
However, the TV format is not the end of the story; Terwitte sees a need for further action: according to Terwitte, more than 200 of the 460 or so religious communities in Germany do not yet have their own website. That cannot and must not be the case! After all, an online presence is the be-all and end-all of any organization - sorry, monastery.
