CLITHEROE ADV:MTISER & TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 14; 1948 EX^NAZI WESLEY CHURCH


Converted To Christianity By A "Rfecle” I


A 22 year-old German who joined the Hitler Youth, foug:ht for . Hitler in Russia and became a Christian after escaping from


execution and seeing his two comrades killed by his side was the special preacher at Clitheroe ,W esley Church youth services at the week-end.


The German, Otto Meinardus,


was converted to Christianity after the war In his native Ham­ burg under the Influence of the Methodist padre at Wesley House Hamburg, which is a''Rhine Army welfare centre. Under the auspices of Wesley House he came to Richmond Theological co ll ie just over a.year ago. Here he is taking a special course in theology and later this year he is to proceed' to ■. the ■ United States to continue his studies at St. Louis University. During his


.stay in Richmond college he has served as chaplain .in two German prisoner-of-war; (Lamps. He has also had prOaching appointments in Swedeil and Ireland as well as in man^ parts of England.


( '


■ Speaking in- excellent ^glish, Otto told his congregatioiuSjhow his experiences during the/ war had shattered the philosophy on . which-he had been brought up. “ I was,a believer in Nietzsche, and strictly speaking vfould' say th a t he was the man res­ ponsible for the war foe It was his philosophy of the develop- ■ment ' of a superman that Influenced Hitler.”


In German schools they had


no . Christian e teaching. They learned the birthdays of Hitler, Goering and Goebbels by heart, and would have, failed in their examinations had, they not known them. Blit they could have passed their examinations without any knowledge whatever of Christmas.


He was brought up to look upon Christianity, as a religion


for the weak, to believe In him- ■ self and his own strength, and in his blood and his race. Today, he thought differently, but It had needed something really great to convert one who held such beliefs.


I


SOMETHING GREATER | This happened during the war.


He and his two comrades were captured by the Russians at a road junction, some miles inside the Russian lines.; The Germans began to shell the position, and the Russians stood then! against a wall to be shot.[ - Facing the wall,i he heard the


first crack of the pistol, and then the second. The third shot hit him, , and h e , , ^ ,to,,the groui),d. Later he recovered' conclous- ness, and discovered that he had been shot through his left arm. His two friends were dead, and tne Russians ' had disappeared, presumably having run for cover from the German shelling. He tied up his arm to stop It from bleeding, and escaped back to the German lines;

He asked himself why he should have been saved when people had tried to shoot hiin from a distance'of only a hw yards. He believed that he had been saved by .a miracle, and realised for thej first time that there was something in the world g ra te r t ^ n himself.' i


“ I thought that it was tlie


last minute of i ray life, but instead It was thei'greatest,^ and I am thankful' for the experience. I t taught me that t^is thing that is greater and'lovelier is God.”


After the war, he studied


Christianity, and, now he firmly believed,'that as ..a Christian he must be fc^lmciflst. Beginning with Alexander and ending with Hitler, history had proved that power brought bnly suicide or murder.


■ WRONG TO FIGHT I t had to be recognised that In


the east today.were people who not only, honoured Stalin, but worshipped Lenin and prayed to him; With the .Communists, it was impossible ;to argue on religion, as one might argue with a Roman Catholic or a Mahommedan, because there was no, background of acceptance of spiritual values. | '. . .


Indeed, Communism was only


the civilised expression of what' was going on Ijehind the' iron curtain. Whatj the Communist did with- hisj mouth, the Bolshevist did with his hands.' .


Yet it w;ouId be wrong to fight, and those who talked about war today eitlier did not IpVe


. their children or did not realise , what they werb saying.


'His attitude to: tlie-people who


wanted to,-kill him and whose treatment sent him for some time to a mental hospital had changed, The only, thing that could- saVe the iWrl'd was true Christianity. It!was difficult:to be friendly with a man on? hat?d,'


.difficult to love one’s enemy, bdt ■it had to be done. '


■::-Tt was the duty , of Christians to spread the Message of Christ, the Menage of ;.peaed and, love which He had glveh through His ., Glorious Resurrection, and' so enlighten 'this dark world.'


in Germany, the situation was


one of despair. [ He himself did not believe inf national guilt, He did not want to' excuse 1933, but thought that yhen they were voting under conditions of hope­ lessness and helplessness,- very few Germans realised what their action would bring upon the ■world.


I In that tragid' country today,


people -were asking how there could be a God of iLove and righteousness, and the . spiritual


.danger was greater thah the material one. ;Again the. only answer lyas Christianity. That, was the task for which' he was training himself,—to help give th e , Germans .a hope, that was founded In the etemaL
