Ev.-luth. Kirchenkreis Mecklenburg (Protestant-Lutheran Mecklenburg church district (Tanzania, Romania, Kazakhstan)
Even in GDR times, the church in Mecklenburg had connections with churches in the Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Tanzania, England and the USA. Following the opening up of the border, these contacts have been deepened and have developed further. Contact to Romania was added to the list. Today all of them are partners with the North Church but the main focus of these connections, however, is still the Mecklenburg church district.
Tanzania
The partnership with the Protestant-Lutheran church in the Pare Diocese, Tanzania (ELCT) has existed since the early 1980s. Apart from parish partnerships there have been contacts between schools and individual initiatives. Young people from both places have been involved in voluntary service. The Tanzania friends in Mecklenburg meet annually at the Tanzania Day.
Romania
The partnership with the little Lutheran Church for the Hungarian minority in Romania is the most recent of the Mecklenburg partnerships. It was initiated after 1990. Nowadays there are several parish partnerships and others are in the process of being set up.
