Horst Krueger was happy to only attend one Sunday worship service Nov. 9 at Berlin Mennonite Church. The service — one of thanksgiving — reflected on a historic weekend 25 years earlier.
Two Mennonite churches were only 10 miles apart, but concrete, guards, guns, politics, bureaucracy and the Cold War stood between them for 28 years until the Berlin Wall opened Nov. 9, 1989.
Krueger preached a sermon that recalled his experiences as pastor of the church in West Berlin and as liaison to the East Berlin church pastored by Knuth Hansen on Schwedter Street.
