Christa Lund Herum moved to Bangkok in November 2017 and became the very first priest at the Danish Church in Thailand. Now, more than seven years later she is ready to move back to Denmark. Christa fondly looks back at her years in Southeast Asia and the work she has done to shape the Danish Church in Thailand. For Christa the work as a priest has included workweeks filled with new challenges and versatile tasks. She especially highlights meeting a lot of people from different parts of society as one of her most memorable tasks.
The Danish church in Bangkok has found a new community house and they will get the keys on 1 March 2024. According to Anette Mundbjerg, the deputy chairman of the Danish Church in Bangkok, they had been looking at options for the last four months. It hasn’t been easy finding the right fit but when she stepped over the threshold to their new house, she knew they had found the right place. “The sky's the limit for what the Danish house in Bangkok can be used for”, says Anette Mundbjerg.
