German autobahns are now offering spiritual recharging, as well as fuel and food, at more than 44 service stations on the nation’s motorway network, it is reported.
Among the better known ‘motorway churches’ is the futuristic Autobhankirche Siegerland, on the A45 motorway between Dortmund and Frankfurt. Built as a worship place in 2013, it recently celebrated its first decade in operation with a special event.
The aim of the church building, which is next to a Burger King fast-food restaurant, is to offer ‘a 24-hour space of peace’. On its information leaflet, Psalm 91:11 stands out: ‘He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways’.
