Wir waren im Seminarraum 1^ im Haus der Kirche und ingesamt 11 Personen zum Worshop (Mitarbeiter-Uni) für Ehren und Hauptamtliche... am Sonntag in Bad Herrenalb. Ich soll dieser Workshop moderieren!! und habe ich auch gerne gemacht! Danke Dietrich. Ob es gut war... das muss ich nach fragen.
Das spannende Thema ist ökumenische/internationale Begegnungen. Alle Teilnehmer/rinnen waren hoch motiviert und da gab es lebendiges Gespräch. Wertheim, Villingen, Baden Baden, Raststatt?? sind vertreten.
Ein Paar Stichworter die wir heftig diskutiert haben:
> Vertraulichkeit
> gleiche Augenhöhe
> Austaush/gegensietiger Besuch
> gleiche Augenhöhe
> Austaush/gegensietiger Besuch
We explained about the Baden-EMS-CSI Partnership relations, CSI and its ministry particularly among the Dalits. There was healthy and lively discussion during question time. We had to close at ca. 17,15 hrs. We could not take in all the questions. The participants have wonderful ideas on Ecumenism . References were made to Ghana and Indonesian Partnerships.
The Jordan-Lebanon experience from Tina Boy was also nice.
I believe, that there is always interest and intellect, experience and encouragement in Baden for ecumenical activities. How do we tap this resource or facilitate many such encounters for the strengthening of international/ecumenical Relations... is the important question. The hope and the encouragement that we have is that we in Baden do not need to start from zero...We only have to identify the Potential and 'create space' for further encounters.
