The Berliner Morgenpost is doing a series on people living in the German capital.
They have begun with a member of a religious community.
Here is a short description of what Petra Stelzner does.
Petra Stelzner ist 1985 der Ordensgemeinschaft der Schwestern der Hl. Maria Magdalena Postel beigetreten. „Der Schritt ins Kloster“, sagt sie, „war für mich ein Schritt in die Freiheit.“ 20 Jahre hat sie im Kloster gelebt. Dann schuf sie in Berlin-Wedding eine Insel. Keine Anlaufstelle für Arme und Kranke, keine Kapelle. Wer in die Lüderitzstraße kommt, muss nicht fromm sein. Er muss Kinder mögen.
