Distinguishing the Spirits: Faith, Politics, and Social Responsibility
At the parish hall of Heilig Geist in Bielefeld, the lecture invites a careful examination of the relationship between AfD and Catholic social teaching. The focus is on how Christian values, theological orientation, and social ethical analysis can contribute to the distinction of political positions.
Social Ethical Perspectives on a Political Challenge
The evening draws on the biblical motif of distinguishing the spirits and translates it into the societal discourse. Catholic social teaching highlights central themes such as human dignity, solidarity, the common good, and the protection of social cohesion.
Lecture by Prof. Dr. Marianne Heimbach-Steins
The event will be presented by Prof. Dr. Marianne Heimbach-Steins. As a theologian and scholar of Christian social ethics, she combines theological reflection with social scientific analysis. Her work addresses, among other things, populism, social cohesion, and the ethical foundations of political responsibility.
Room for Reflection and Conversation
The atmosphere of the parish hall of Heilig Geist provides a protected setting for concentrated listening and collective contemplation. The evening targets individuals who wish to consider political developments from a Christian-social ethical perspective and deepen their own viewpoints through open exchange.
