World in Disorder – A Just Peace in Sight?
How can a just peace be conceived in a world full of wars, crises, and new forms of conflict? The lecture at the Martin-Schalling-Haus in Weiden on October 5, 2026, will address the current peace manifesto of the Protestant Church in Germany and invites a thorough engagement with the big questions of our time.
Peace Ethics in the Face of Current Challenges
At the center is the EKD manifesto World in Disorder – A Just Peace in Sight. Protestant Peace Ethics in Light of New Challenges. The evening will introduce the main lines of this document and illuminate what guidance it offers for war, justice, and social conflicts.
The event will not only focus on armed conflicts. It will also consider conflicts in both analog and digital spaces, questions of freedom, inequality, and the handling of plurality as part of current peace ethics. Just peace is seen as a process where violence diminishes and justice increases.
Lecture by Sr. Prof. Dr. Nicole Grochowina
Sr. Prof. Dr. Nicole Grochowina has been announced as the speaker. She is a member of the council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria and a nun of the Protestant Community Christusbruderschaft Selbitz. Her theological and socio-political perspective provides an informed access to the manifesto and its implications for the present day.
Space for Agreement, Critique, and Conscience Development
The peace manifesto does not provide simple answers to complex political and ethical questions. Therefore, the lecture will also consider agreement and criticism of the new peace ethics. The central question is what guidance the document can offer for personal judgment and conscience development.
The event experience combines professional information with focused audience atmosphere and space for collective reflection. For those interested from Weiden and the Upper Palatinate, the evening offers an opportunity to contextualize current peace political debates from a Protestant perspective.
Conclusion: Thinking Together About Peace Issues
Visitors can expect an informative lecture on the new EKD peace manifesto, its ethical guidelines, and its significance for a restless present. Those who wish to engage with war, peace, justice, and Christian responsibility will experience an evening filled with relevant impulses and serious food for thought at the Martin-Schalling-Haus.
