Memorial service for Marianne Spreng

Marianne Spreng, who has been a mainstay of the Initiatives of Change conference centre at Caux for half a century, passed away suddenly on 21 August 2021. Her passing came as a shock to the multitudes who will forever recall her warmth, enthusiasm, wit and sharp intellect.

Marianne was 74 years old and a treasured member of Initiatives of Change, serving the Foundation and the conference centre in Caux selflessly for many decades in different capacities. She had a passion for people and situations and a gift for friendships with people from all walks of life. 

To honour her life, a memorial service will be held on 10 September 2021 at 13.30 CEST in Lucerne and online. The memorial service is open to the public with Covid-related limitations and protocols in place (maximum occupancy of 100 people).
