Die Apostelin-Junia-Kirche
Old Catholic Church consecrated in 2012 and named after the female apostle Junia. Here you can see it with the Campanile, which was only erected in 2017.
The church is located on the site of the former American Sheridan Barracks, now known as Sheridan-Park in Augsburg.
Junia is only mentioned once in the Bible, in Romans 16:7. Depending on the English or German Bible translation, older versions either make her a male apostle called Junias or a woman who was not an apostle. However the New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE), which was released in 2011, and the Einheitsübersetzung 2016, a German translation of the Bible for liturgical use in Roman Catholic worship, make Junia a woman AND an apostle in their versions of the text.
