Trinity - for as long as anyone can remember has always been difficult to stomach for theologians not to mention for lay people, especially young people. Then, If you still want to deal with the third article of faith "the blinds go down" ...! Even if according to recent studies, parareligious experiences are in vogue the Holy Spirit does not enjoy great popularity. By using the religion-science categories of primary and secondary religiosity I will show that archaic patterns of thought, the named primary religiosity, is genuinely human and always will be a part of humanity. Thus, primary religious beliefs mingle with secondary religious ones, like the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. By reference to an African church, the Kimbanguism, I will show what this interlacement might look like in a different context. To a special degree the Holy Spirit is experienced in the receiving of songs, as well as experiencing baptism and in the incarnation of the Holy Spirit in the founding prophet of the Church. I will expound the problems of the latter from a theological perspective. And following the theoretical remarks I will discuss didactic-methodological deliberations. The students will be met at their own experiences. What do their experiences with the Spirit look like - in the broadest sense of the word? Examples are performed and subjected to methodological considerations. After these depictions the experiences of the Kimbanguists can be worked on. Especially the spirit-conceived songs can be looked at by means of a song. To secure the different experiences, opinions and positions, I advise to address them in a panel discussion or debate.
