Understanding Poland: Discovering Europe's Neighbors in Open Dialogue
Where history, faith, and social responsibility come together, space for real understanding is created. The lecture series "Understanding Poland" of the Ecumenical Seminar invites you on November 4, 2026, to the community hall of St. Jacobi Göttingen. The focus is on the European rule of law crisis and its significance for Poland and the European Union.
An Afternoon Between Politics, History, and Spirituality
The lecture "Poland and the Rule of Law Crisis in the European Union" opens an informed view of current political developments and their historical contexts. The Ecumenical Seminar combines political education with church educational work and creates an atmosphere where different perspectives stand respectfully side by side.
Ecumenical Seminar as a Meeting Place
This series is created in collaboration with the Evangelical Lutheran Congregation St. Jacobi, the Evangelical Adult Education, and the Adult Education Center Göttingen. Other dates will address topics including the Catholic Church in Poland, Solidarity, Polish music, memory culture, literature, and German-Polish relations.
Religious Experience Through Listening and Joint Reflection
In the quiet environment of the community hall, concentrated listening is combined with a sense of community and personal reflection. Even without a traditional church service character, the event remains in the tradition of Christian adult education: theology, history, spirituality, and social dialogue lead to a religious experience that broadens the view of European neighborhood.
Open to Interested Parties from Göttingen and the Region
The event is aimed at congregation members, those interested in history and politics, as well as all people who want to understand Poland and Europe better. No prior knowledge is required. Admission is free, and registration is not necessary.
Conclusion
Visitors can expect an informative lecture in a traditional church environment that connects political developments, historical experiences, and ecumenical conversation culture. Experience the event live at St. Jacobi Göttingen and become part of an open community of understanding.
