Some of my personal experiences at
The Othona Community, Bradwell on Sea, Essex
I'm
also member and German representative of the ecumenical OTHONA
Community in England. The OTHONA
Community was started by the late Anglican Canon Norman
Motley in 1946 to overcome the hatred which had its climax in the
second world war. The OTHONA
Community has a membership of about 400 people world wide. One of
my pleasures is introducing young German people mainly to the OTHONA
Community at Bradwell to widen their horizons and to help the
world wide ecumenical, peace and ecological movements. Here is an
arial view of the center in Bradwell-on-Sea:

Site with Chapel (87 k) and Overview
(95 k)
These pictures were taken one morning in spring 1993 while the new
main building (L-shaped) was under construction. The white building
with the red roof on bottom left is St. Peter's Chapel built in 654
used for the OTHONA daily services. The 3 long (2 gray, 1 black)
buildings above the main building are the oldest OTHONA buildings on
site (built in the 1950's).
There
is also an official web site
specially dedicated to the Chapel.
