The German missionary magazine “Kontinente” has celebrated yesterday its 50th year of life in the city of Cologne. The ceremony, to represent the German-speaking province (DSP), was attended by the Comboni Missionaries Fr. Anton Schneider, media coordinator in the DSP, and Fr. Reinhold Baumann, managing editor of the Comboni insert that is regularly published in the magazine “Kontinente”. The magazine was founded by 13 missionary Institutes in 1966, in Germany, to be a voice for the poor countries of the southern hemisphere and to express the richness of the Christian life in the different cultures. Today, the Institutes responsible for the publication of “Kontinente” are 27. The magazine is published in two languages, German and Dutch, with a total circulation of 200,000 copies.
