St.
Petersburg
"The
goal of my book is to help preserve Russia's small German settlements
in people's memory." With these words Edith Mutel, the 96
year-old author of the recently published Russian version of her
memoirs, greeted congregational members and guests at the
presentation of her book in Petrikirche on December 13th. The full
title of the book is: "I Remember: From Petrograd to Petersburg
through the Volga and Siberia. The Fate of a Pastor's Daughter."
Archbishop
Dietrich Brauer, while congratulating Edith Mutel on the publication
of her book, emphasized that it has significance for our whole
Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Congregational
members gathered into a long line in order to get an autographed copy
of the book, which came out in small run of 500 copies. Some of those
will be sold through the book ministry "The Word," while a
copy will also be sent to all the congregations of our church for
their libraries.
