 The
town Stein in Transylvania was founded by German immigrants
800 years ago. The Romanian name of the town is Dacia. After
the German minority had almost entirely left Romania due
to the political changes in Eastern Europe in the beginning
of the 1990s, a lot of the houses were left behind and started
to decay. So did the parsonage of the Lutheran congregation
Augsburger Bekenntnis in Stein.
 After
serveral positive experiences in conducting trips to the
parsonage with youth groups, such as the 2004 trip with
Romania children, the congregation decided to start to use
the pastrage again. Together with their partner organization
Copiii Europei e.V., the congregation decided that the pasonage
should serve a meaningfull religious and social purpose
again. Therefore, the old house is going to be turned into
an education and meeting center.
The
education and meeting center is going to be open to all
religious, Christian, and social groups and organizations.
