— Lynne Hybels (b. 1952), Autorin, Sprecherin und Aktivistin, Mitgründerin der Willow Creek Community Church

Lynne Hybels

Die US-amerikanische Autorin, Rednerin und Aktivistin Lynne Hybels begründete ab 1975 die überkonfessionelle Megachurch Willow Creek Community Church bei Chicago mit.

Bibellesern begegnet sie als Mahnerin zu einer gelebten Nachfolge, die persönlichen Glauben untrennbar mit praktischer Nächstenliebe und Versöhnungsarbeit verbindet.
