	Ruhnu uus kirik
		Altarimaali "Tulge minu juurde" on Carl Blochi Hörupi kirikus paikneva originaali järgi Ruhnu kirikule maalinud Severin Nilson.
		Pikihoone kõrgel paiknev peaaegu katkematu aknarida, koobaltklaasruuduga keskel ei muuda Ruhnu uut kirikut mitte ainult väga valguserikkaks, vaid ka teeb ruumi tundlikuks valgusvarju liikumisele, sõltuvalt päevatunnist ja paneb spektrivärvid mänglema kord kristallkroonlühtri haaradel, kord valgeil kantslikatetel, kord küünaldel pingiotsalühtrites.
		Ei leidu teist nii hoolitsetud ja puhast pühakoda kui seda praegu on Ruhnu uus kirik.

		The island of Ruhnu is situated in the Baltic Sea, practically in the middle of the Gulf of Riga.
		Ruhnu Island (Runõ in Swedish, Roņu Sala in Latvian) belongs to the Saare administrative region and is a conditionally independent community.

		The island of Ruhnu or Runö is a place we know a lot about, yet so little.
		For centuries, Ruhnu was inhabited mainly by Swedes and ruled by Swedish law, which had its impact on the island.
		Ruhnu is thus quietly but steadily floating towards Sweden, although the Swedes left the island almost en masse on 6 August 1944, fleeing the approaching Soviet troops.

	<< Saarlane >> - Saaremaa uudised: Ruhnu uut koolimaja veel pole, mööbel on
		Kuigi riik eraldas Ruhnu uue koolimaja ehitamiseks 6 miljonit krooni ja täna antakse üle koolile kingitud mööbel, kestab muinsuskaitsega vaidlus projekteeritud maja sobivuse üle praeguse koolimaja juurde.
		Täna peaks mööbel Ruhnu jõudma ja osa sellest läheb kohe kasutusse vanas koolimajas.
		“Kurb on, et Ruhnu uue kooli ehitamine on hetkel takerdunud, kuid loodame, et Ruhnu rahva soov siiski täitub ning lapsed saavad varsti igati kaasaegse koolihoone, kuhu sobib kindlasti kingituseks saadud mööbel,” ütles Saaremaa juurtega Arakas.

	Ruhnu Church
		One of the main highlights of Ruhnu is the old wooden church which dates from 1644 and is one of the oldest remaining wooden churches in Europe.
		Because the wooden church was becoming too small a new church was built in 1912 next to the old wooden church.
		It remains a miracle that the wooden church survived 48 years of communist rule during which the new church was used as a storage house and the old one was apparently just ignored (fortunately, as it could just as well have been destroyed).

		They have appealed to the environment ministry to shoot the animal if attempts to catch it fail, as the presence of the large wild animal on Ruhnu means their children cannot play outside.
