I am always happy when I see the sisters of the Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary at pro-Israel demonstrations like yesterday. Here is more about them:
The Founders and Mothers of the Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary, Darmstadt, Germany:
Mother Basilea (Dr. Klara Schlink, on the left, 1904 - 2001) - social welfare training and practice - teaching experience - doctorate in psychology in 1934 in Hamburg - leader of the Women’s Division of the German Student Christian Movement.
Mother Martyria (Erika Madauss, on the right, 1904-1999) - also social welfare training and practice, in Hamburg and London.
Years before the Sisterhood of Mary began, God prepared our founding mothers for their future ministry, leading them to do without any earthly security and to rely completely upon Him. Making God alone their help and refuge in every situation, they grew strong in faith, and thus were enabled later to lead our entire community along the same path.
Mother Basilea and Mother Martyria made a brave Christian stand during the Hitler regime. As national president of the Women’s Division of the German Student Christian Movement (1933-35), Mother Basilea refused to comply with Nazi policy, which would bar Jewish Christians from the meetings.
During World War II she risked her life and career by speaking publicly on the unique destiny of God’s people, Israel. Summoned twice before the Gestapo for proclaiming the lordship of Jesus Christ, she was allowed to go free in spite of her uncompromising stand. Mother Martyria held Bible studies for young people, even teaching them the Old Testament, which was forbidden under Hitler.

Ich freue mich immer, wenn ich die Schwestern von der Evangelischen Marienschwesterschaft auf pro-israelischen Demonstrationen sehe. Hier ist mehr über sie:
Die Gründerinnen und Mütter der Evangelischen Marienschwesternschaft Darmstadt, Deutschland:
Mutter Basilea (Dr.Klara Schlink, 1904–2001), – sozialpädagogische Ausbildungen – Studium der Psychologie, Kunstgeschichte, Philosophie, Theologie – Reichsleiterin der Deutschen Christlichen Studentinnenbewegung.
Mutter Martyria (Erika Madauss, 1904–1999), – sozialpädagogische Ausbildung und Praxis in Hamburg und London.
Kompromißlose Nachfolge war im Hitlerdeutschland unerwünscht: Dr. Klara Schlink weigert sich, Judenchristen aus den Studentinnenkreisen auszuschließen. Während des Krieges wird sie vor die Gestapo gerufen und trotz ihres klaren Bekenntnisses zu Christus wieder freigelassen.
