Respect - Reverence - Appreciation
On the 150th anniversary of Albert Schweitzer's birth, his person will be the focus of this weekend. He was not only a man of action, but also a man of words. Using Schweitzer's texts, we will explore the central concept of "reverence". How can this somewhat unwieldy and ancient word be translated into the present day, what consequences can it have for our actions today
