  • Friedensnobelpreisträger Alljährlich Am 10
    WikiPress Friedensnobelpreisträger Alljährlich am 10. Dezember, dem Todestag Alfred Nobels, wird der Frie- Friedensnobelpreisträger densnobelpreis vom norwegischen König in Oslo verliehen. Im Jahr 1901 erhielt Henri Dunant für die Gründung des Roten Kreuzes und seine Ini- Geschichte, Personen, Organisationen tiative zum Abschluss der Genfer Konvention als Erster die begehrte Aus- zeichnung. Mit dem Preis, den Nobel in seinem Testament gestiftet hatte, wurden weltweit zum ersten Mal die Leistungen der Friedensbewegung Aus der freien Enzyklopädie Wikipedia offiziell gewürdigt. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Nobelpreisen kann der zusammengestellt von Friedensnobelpreis auch an Organisationen vergeben werden, die an ei- nem Friedensprozess beteiligt sind. Dieses Buch stellt in ausführlichen Achim Raschka Beiträgen sämtliche Friedensnobelpreisträger seit 1901 sachkundig vor. Alle Artikel sind aus der freien Enzyklopädie Wikipedia zusammen- gestellt und zeichnen ein lebendiges Bild von der Vielfalt, Dynamik und Qualität freien Wissens – zu dem jeder beitragen kann. Achim Raschka hat einige Jahre seines Lebens damit verbracht, Biologie zu studieren, und vor vier Jahren sein Diplom mit den Schwerpunkten Zoologie, Humanbiologie, Ökologie und Paläontologie abgeschlossen. Er ist verheiratet und Vater von zwei Kindern, hat einen Facharbeiterbrief als Physiklaborant, ist ehemaliger Zivildienstleistender einer Jugendherberge in Nordhessen sowie ambitionierter Rollenspieler und Heavy-Metal-Fan. Während seines Studiums betreute er verschiedene Kurse, vor allem in Ökologie (Bodenzoologie und Limnologie), Zoologie sowie in Evolutions- biologie und Systematik. Seit dem Studium darf er als Dozent an der Frei- en Universität in Berlin regelmäßig eigene Kurse in Ökologie geben. Au- ßerdem war er kurz beim Deutschen Humangenomprojekt (DHGP) und betreute mehrere Jahre Portale bei verschiedenen Internetplattformen. Zur Wikipedia kam Achim Raschka während seiner Zeit im Erziehungs- urlaub für seinen jüngeren Sohn.

  • Erfahrungen Erinnerungen Gedanken
    Hanfried Müller Erfahrungen Erinnerungen Gedanken Zur Geschichte von Kirche und Gesellschaft in Deutschland seit 1945 GNN Verlag ISBN 978-3-89819-314-6 © 2010 by GNN Gesellschaft für Nachrichtenerfassung und Nachrichtenverbrei- tung, Verlagsgesellschaft für Sachsen/Berlin mbH, Badeweg 1, D- 04435 Schkeuditz Alle Rechte vorbehalten Gesamtherstellung: GNN Schkeuditz 4 Noch kurz vor seinem Tode am 3. März 2009 war Hanfried Müller mit sei- ner »Autobiographie« befaßt, in der ein Kapitel deutscher Geschichte und Kirchengeschichte festgehalten werden sollte. Nicht um seine Person ging es ihm also und schon gar nicht um private Befindlichkeit, wohl aber um eine Geschichtsschreibung, die gesellschaftliche und kirchenpolitische Verhältnisse und Entwicklungen im Fokus persönlicher Erfahrungen und Erinnerungen widerspiegelt. Seine Aufzeichnungen sind ein Torso geblieben. Dennoch enthält bereits der publizierbare Text eine solche Fülle an grundsätzlicher historischer Einsicht und politischer Erkenntnis, daß seine Lektüre weit über den Blickwinkel subjektiver Wertungen hinausträgt. Von Hanfried Müller war, selbstredend, keine Retrospektive zu erwarten, der sich bürgerliches Herrschaftsbewußtsein und schon gar nicht deutsche Kleinbürgerlichkeit akkommodieren könnten. Schließlich verstieß er als Sohn aus »guter Gesellschaft« gegen die ehernen Prinzipien dieser Gesell- schaft; und schon zu seinen Lebzeiten ist ihm sein Klassenverrat niemals verziehen worden. Seine »Erinnerungen« zeichnen nach, warum und wie er und seine Frau Rosemarie Müller-Streisand einen Weg gegangen sind, der - ebenso außer- gewöhnlich wie konsequent - mitten in den Klassenkampf des Kalten Krieges führte, mithin also auch in die Auseinandersetzung mit einem Kir- chenverständnis, dem weitgehend die Signaturen einer konservativen Partei eigneten und das schon deshalb Müllers reformatorische Theologie als Zumutung und Provokation empfinden mußte. Die Aufzeichnungen enden 1973. Die bereits detailliert konzipierten Kapi- tel V.

  • 'Owned' Vatican Guilt for the Church's Role in the Holocaust?
    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations Volume 4 (2009): Madigan CP 1-18 CONFERENCE PROCEEDING Has the Papacy ‘Owned’ Vatican Guilt for the Church’s Role in the Holocaust? Kevin Madigan Harvard Divinity School Plenary presentation at the Annual Meeting of the Council of Centers on Christian-Jewish Relations November 1, 2009, Florida State University, Boca Raton, Florida Given my reflections in this presentation, it is perhaps appropriate to begin with a confession. What I have written on the subject of the papacy and the Shoah in the past was marked by a confidence and even self-righteousness that I now find embarrassing and even appalling. (Incidentally, this observation about self-righteousness would apply all the more, I am afraid, to those defenders of the wartime pope.) In any case, I will try and smother those unfortunate qualities in my presentation. Let me hasten to underline that, by and large, I do not wish to retract conclusions I have reached, which, in preparation for this presentation, have not essentially changed. But I have come to perceive much more clearly the need for humility in rendering judgment, even harsh judgment, on the Catholic actors, especially the leading Catholic actors of the period. As José Sanchez, with whose conclusions in his book on understanding the controversy surrounding the wartime pope I otherwise largely disagree, has rightly pointed out, “it is easy to second guess after the events.”1 This somewhat uninflected observation means, I take it, that, in the case of the Holy See and the Holocaust, the calculus of whether to speak or to act was reached in the cauldron of a savage world war, wrought in the matrix of competing interests and complicated by uncertainty as to whether acting or speaking would result in relief for or reprisal.

  • The Waldensian Review
    THE WALDENSIAN REVIEW No. 115 Winter 2009 Editor: Mrs Erica Scroppo Newbury, 85 St Andrew’s Road, Cambridge CB4 1DH. Telephone 01223-315753, email [email protected] From the Editor Dear Friends and Supporters, This is not my usual letter to our beloved and faithful readers. I am of course going to thank you once again for your generosity, for your support, for your thoughts and prayers. I will of course as usual further on let you know about old and new friends, about old and new projects, about Italy and the Walden- sian–Methodist Church. To start with, though, I would like to draw your attention to the growing costs of printing and posting the Waldensian Review. We all agree it is an excellent way to keep in touch, we have fans in at least three continents and I would feel really sad if I had to stop editing and producing this little magazine which is by now an institution, this issue being the 115th! Nevertheless since the dona- tions are dropping and I don’t need to explain why our revenue in interest and investment is at the moment virtually nonexistent, we cannot justify spending a considerable sum of our small income on producing a newsletter which at the moment is far from generating the income one would hope for. The purpose of our Mission is after all to collect money to send to Italy to help the Waldensian Church. Our choice has been to help in areas where the Church does not receive help from other sources; that is in evangelisation, church life, the maintenance and building of places of worship, in one word: Christian life.

  • Letter from National Conferences of Catholic Bishops to the Leaders of the G8 Nations
    Letter from National Conferences of Catholic Bishops to the Leaders of the G8 Nations June 3, 2013 Hon. David Cameron Hon. Enrico Letta Prime Minister, United Kingdom President of the Council of Ministers, Hon. Stephen Joseph Harper Repubblica Italiana (Italian Republic) Prime Minister, Canada Hon. Shinzō Abe Hon. François Hollande Prime Minister, Japan President, French Republic Hon. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin Hon. Angela Merkel President, Russian Federation Chancellor, Federal Republic of Germany Hon. Barack Obama President, United States of America Dear Leaders of the Group of 8 Nations: On behalf of the Catholic bishops’ conferences in the G8 nations, we urge you to protect poor persons and assist developing countries at the upcoming G8 Summit in the United Kingdom. Pope Francis, in his inaugural homily, committed himself to “open his arms to protect all of God’s people and embrace with tender affection the whole of humanity, especially the poorest, the weakest, the least important….” The G8 nations, as leaders in the world community, should do no less. Your focus on agriculture and nutrition ahead of the G8 Meeting is timely. In a world that has made great strides in improving food production and distribution, far too many of God’s children still go to bed hungry or suffer from a lack of nutrition, a tragedy that has lifelong consequences for health and educational achievement. In particular, there is a need to strengthen assistance to African countries in order to improve local agriculture. The G8’s attention to tax evasion, trade and transparency is equally timely. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches: “Submission to authority and co-responsibility for the common good make it morally obligatory to pay taxes…” (No.
