He studied theology at the Humboldt University in East Berlin in order to become a Lutheran pastor, and attended courses in philosophy, history and art history. He also pursued a childhood interest in paleontology. In the course of his ministry in East Germany and in working for a more humane and compassionate society, he frequently ran into conflicts with the communist authorities. Inspired by the civil rights movement in America, Pastor Wilhelm worked intensively and successfully with the youth, which increasingly irritated the East German regime. In 1979, he accepted a call from a congregation in Western Canada, where he moved with his wife and children and served in a number of congregations.visualizza meno
