Please, could anyone tell me what "Aussenkirche" means? It is in a text about religion, about being a believer or not.
The context is pretty unclear and no dictionary has given me a clue!

I found Buitenkerk in Dutch and outer church in English as synonyms for Außenkirche. Here is a possible explanation of the meaning:
"The name Buitenkerk (buiten = outside) reminds of the time that this part of Kampen lay outside the walls of the town."

I just found another link - http://book4blog-becomingwisencompassionate.blogspot.com/200... - where outer and inner church are contrasted. Maybe that fits your context better?

: Ich verstehe es als "Filialkirche". Hab was bei Wikipedia.de gefunden (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merklingen_(Weil_der_Stadt)), was meine Vermutung einwenig bestätigt. Da ist aber nicht viel im Web.

In dem von Harapalba genannten Kontext denke ich mittlerweile, dass es wohl mehr um die Gegenüberstellung innerer Glaube - Kirche als Institution geht.

Now, this is the context:
... da er noch ruhig lebte in der Außenkirche und den rauschenden Wind hielt für Meinen Geist und den Donner für die Stimme des Lebens im Sohne ...
(the Austrian visionary Jakob Lorber)
