Christoph Drollinger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christoph Drollinger ; and Christof Drollinger (* 31 October 1861 in Knielingen at Karlsruhe ; † 16th April 1943 in Frutigen ) was a German Protestant clergyman and founder of the Swiss community of early Christianity.

Life

Christoph Drollinger was the son of the master baker Jakob Drollinger and his wife Juliana Margaretha (née Schempp).

He attended grammar school in Heilbronn and enrolled to study theology at the University of Leipzig , the University of Greifswald , in 1884 at the University of Rostock with lectures from Heinrich von Stein and the University of Halle with lectures from Rudolf Haym and the University of Tübingen with lectures from Christoph von Sigwart and Edmund von Pfleiderer .

From 1889 he was pastor in the Evangelical Baden regional church , including from 1897 to 1906 in Staffort- Büchenau and most recently in Ispringen , where there was a falling out with the social democratic faction of the community because of his solid sermons against immorality.

After he retired in 1916, he bought the Chalet Blüemlisalp in the Vordorf in Frutigen . He founded a house church in Frutigen and preached in room assemblies, at Bible and preparation weeks and conferences throughout the Bernese Oberland and in the Emmental . In his interpretations he taught that according to the New Testament all Christians should open themselves to the gifts given by the Holy Spirit and concluded from this that the healing of the sick, speaking in strange tongues, vision and prophecy were the logical consequences of genuine conversion and the baptism of the Spirit .

With like-minded people from the house congregations, including those in Frutigen, he founded, together with his wife, the Reformed pastor Robert Willenegger and the Methodist lay preacher Johannes Widmer, the Church for Early Christianity (today: MovementPlus ), which belonged to the Pentecostal Free Churches .

Christoph Drollinger was married to Agnes Clara (born April 10, 1872), teacher and daughter of the Neuchâtel pastor Emile Pettavel (1838–1917), also Pitterel.
