Seminar om retfærdig fred i teologisk, etisk og homiletisk perspektiv
Med den russiske invasionskrig den 24. februar 2022 blev den teologiske og etiske fredstænkning udfordret. Hvordan skal vi tænke, tale og prædike om fred i en situation med krig? Er det naivt at tro på freden som mulighed? Passer vores ideer om ’retfærdig fred’
ikke længere til en verden, hvor Putin kan overfalde Ukraine, og hvor den ene ortodokse kirke kan legitimere en blodig angrebskrig på en anden ortodoks kirke?
Den økumeniske bevægelses hovedide på området har været ’retfærdig fred’. Denne ide er langt fra ny, men fremhæver med inspiration fra både Augustin og Thomas Aquinas kristendommen som udgangspunkt for at tale om den forsoning og retfærdighed som kan lede til fred. Siden enden på den kolde krig og blokpolitikken i Europa har den liberale drøm behersket europæisk politik og konflikttænkning. Grundsætningen har siden 1990 lydt: Handelsforpligtelser sammen med demokrati og anerkendelsen af internationale organisationer vil sikre fred. Krig lønner sig ikke og er ikke noget fornuftigt middel for politik – krig er irrationelt. De sidste tre års krig mellem to stater – Rusland og Ukraine – har nedbrudt denne fortælling. Har krigen også nedbrudt den økumeniske bevægelses fredstænkning og umuliggjort ideen om en retfærdig fred? Har vi brug for at ændre revidere vores etiske tænkning om krig og fred? Hvordan kan vi prædike fred i en tid med krig?
Det mellemkirkelige Råd og Afd. for Teologi, Aarhus Universitet, inviterer nu til et fagseminar for at belyse og drøfte disse spørgsmål i en dansk, kirkelig sammenhæng.
Se hele programmet hér. Sted: Aarhus Universitet, Nobelparken, lokale 123 / bygn. 1485 (Nobelsalen) Tilmelding: Senest torsdag d. 20. februar på https://forms.gle/wAPiPuehjvmkLvY16

8th LWF International Seminar for Lay Persons in Church Leadership
Invitation to the 8th LWF International Seminar for Lay Persons in Church Leadership in Geneva and Wittenberg, 25th May to
2nd June 2025
it is my honour and great pleasure to invite you to nominate lay leaders of your church for the 8 th LWF International Seminar for Lay Persons in Church Leadership. “The Role of Lay Leadership in the Church – A biblical, theological and spiritual reflection” 25th May to 2nd June 2025 in Geneva and Wittenberg The seminar is organised in close cooperation by the LWF Communion Office in Geneva and the LWF Center in Wittenberg. It will be held in person. The aim of this seminar is to reflect on the role of lay leaders within the church both theologically and spiritually, to train and encourage the lay leaders for their leadership role within the wider church and to offer a place of shared lives and worship as a living expression of the global Lutheran communion. Many of the participating lay leaders leave the seminars strengthened and inspired and carry the rich experiences back to their ministry in their home churches. Up to 22 participants from the 7 regions within the LWF will be invited. This will ensure a fruitful, cross-cultural dialogue that will strengthen the communion of the LWF.
Please be aware that we may not be able to accept all nominations due to limited finances and capacities. We therefore kindly ask you to send no more than two nominations of lay leaders from your church.
Despite our shared commitment to involve at least 40% women, 40% men and 20% youth (between 18 and 30 years of age) in LWF events and LWF governance, women and young people are still regularly underrepresented in the nominations. We therefore strongly encourage you to nominate female and young lay leaders in your church.
The participants should be able to share their newly gained knowledge and competences with other church leaders at home. The seminar will be held in English and participants should have very good English skills in order to be able to follow the program.
The seminar will start on 25th May in Geneva. Here, participants will engage in theological reflection on church leadership and growing spiritual communion. The participants will also learn about the organisation and work of the Lutheran World Federation at its Headquarters.
On 29th May, the group will travel together to Wittenberg. Here, participants will reflect on the Lutheran understanding of church leadership and their vocation as non-ordained church leaders as well as deepen their spiritual life while connecting with the historical roots of the Lutheran faith and tradition. On 2nd June, the participants will travel home from Wittenberg.
Please, be aware that participants will need a document for international travel (passport) which must be valid at least until 1 st January 2026.
The participation fee amounts to 1,000 Euros (including accommodation, food, day trips, entrance fees, materials, etc). The fee and travel expenses are to be covered by the participants and/or their sending churches.

Økumenisk sommerakademi: Ecumenical Peacebuilding in Times of War. The Legacy of Stockholm 1925
Det økumeniske verdensmøde i Stockholm 1925 skabte et forum for kirkernes fredsarbejde midt i den urolige mellemkrigstid. Mødet blev en vigtig milepæl for en global kirkelig bevægelse, som har fået ny kraft og aktualitet i vores tid. Hvordan kan vi forstå Stockholmsmødets
fredsbudskab i dag? På dette sommerkursus tager vi udgangspunkt i de historiske begivenheder i 1925 og udforsker økumeniens fredsressourcer i mødet med vor tids konflikter.
Dette kursus afholdes i sommertiden i det økumeniske år 2025. Undervisningen foregår online i juni og juli. I august vil der være mulighed for at deltage i jubilæumsprogrammet under den økumeniske uge i Stockholm. Kurset udbydes på både grund- og avanceret
niveau og giver 7,5 ECTS-point.
Undervisningsperiode: Uge 25-34. Fjernundervisning og skriveperiode i juni og juli. Aflevering af opgave i august. Ansøgning via antagning.se fra 27. februar til 15. april 2025. Hvis tidligere ansøgning og optagelse er nødvendig, skriv venligst til esa2025@ehs.se. Læs meget mere om sommerakademiet her.
