More DescriptionEnglish summary: Markus Schmidt's study provides an important contribution to research into the ecclesiastical, devotional and biographical history of the Church of Saxony during the 20th century: the popular mission circle (Volksmissionskreis) spearheaded Saxony's charismatic movement within the GDR and played a crucial role in its dissemination within the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony. Both the concept of spirituality and the understanding of spiritual welfare within this circle continue to characterise today's Church of Saxony. Markus Schmidt examines the present Volksmissionskreis from its roots within the Confessing Church up to the time of the Peaceful Revolution. He analyses the concept of spiritual welfare within the Volksmissionskreis and critically discusses the way in which it was practised. German description: Markus Schmidts Studie liefert einen wichtigen Beitrag zur kirchen-, frommigkeits- und biographiegeschichtlichen Erforschung der sachsischen Landeskirche im 20. Jahrhundert: Der Volksmissionskreis stand in der DDR an der Spitze der charismatischen Bewegung Sachsens und war entscheidend an ihrer Verbreitung innerhalb der Ev.-Luth. Landeskirche beteiligt. Der Spiritualitatsbegriff und das Seelsorgeverstandnis des Kreises pragen die sachsische Landeskirche bis heute. Markus Schmidt untersucht den Volksmissionskreis von seinen Wurzeln in der Bekennenden Kirche bis hin zur Zeit der Friedlichen Revolution. Er analysiert dabei die Seelsorgekonzeption des Kreises und diskutiert dessen Seelsorgepraxis kritisch.
