Workshops in Pusan / Seoul 

Di, 5. Nov. 2013, 14.15-15.45
Life, Free of Nuclear Power (WS272)

Korean Christian Network for World Without Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear Power/NCCJ
Room 204

Description: Nuclear reactors in Japan and Korea are dangerously disaster-prone, as they are in the most densely populated countries in North East Asia, where there is also an ongoing danger of a nuclear arms race going out of control. Christians and other citizens in Japan, Korea and Taiwan are resisting the nuclear complex of power and weapons and working toward a world free of nuclear power and nuclear weapons. The workshop is intended to advance a theological and general discourse for peace for a world without nuclear complexes and to help form an Asian and global action network, in cooperation with already existing networks on similar issues.

Covenanting for Ecological Justice (WS 158)

Evangelical Mission in Solidarity, Protestant Church in Baden, Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea
Room 110

Description: Ecological justice concerns everyone. It draws attention to threats to life but also to the promise of life in fullness. The commitment to a lifestyle and a subsistence strategy or economic system that preserves natural resources, to combating poverty, and to a positive vision of social justice and just peace all go hand in hand. Together they are steps on our way to justice and peace. There are, however, conflicts of interest and priorities – in and between the global South and the global North, for example – that need to be taken seriously. Direct ecumenical partnerships between churches in different parts of the world are well suited to work together on these challenges. Conversation with and among church experts from different contexts is equally important. The workshop will bring people from this different area together.

Article 9 of the Japanese Peace Constitution (WS216)

National Council of Churches in Japan (für ein kurzes statement der EMS ist u.a. Pfrin Ulrike Schmidt-Hesse angefragt, die Stellvertretende Generalsekretärin)

Descpriction: Japan’s 1947 „Peace Constitution“ is so called because it contains Article 9, which states: The Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation” (Clause 1) and “Land, sea and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained” (Clause 2). Through lectures, testimonies, prayer, dialogue and faith based declarations, the Asia Interreligious Conference on Article 9 has sought to protect the letter and promote the spirit of Article 9 against domestic and international pressures toward remilitarization of Japan. This workshop will share the results of the work in this area.

Nuclear phaseout or a New Atomic Age? 

"MEET - More Ecumenical Empowerment Together". A German network of young people who want to live their Christian faith ecumenically (http://meet-junge-oekumene.de)

 

Dscription:  The Fukushima nuclear disaster has changed standpoints on nuclear power in many countries within populations and governments. Young people from Germany and Asia will present the changes in their countries and enable the sharing of different current policies on nuclear power. A panel discussion will include young perspectives from Eastern Europe and the United States. The workshop will offer a discussion on how nuclear power relates to political and ecological justice, justice among generations - and therefore to peacebuilding. The workshop will seak to enable (young) people from various countries to hear and to learn from each other and to discuss how Christians can contribute to a public reconsideration on nuclear power in their own contexts.

Kriegsdienstverweigerung in Korea 

DOAM, Mennoniten, Gruppen in Korea

Der Workshop zur Kriegsdienstverweigerung wurde leider abgelehnt, da dies ein zu heikles Thema für die Kirchen in Korea ist. In Korea wird KDV noch immer als Landesverrat betrachtet und insgesamt sind etwa 700 Menschen im Gefängnis. Der workshop wird nun dennoch unter Federführung der DOAM (Paul Schneiss/Fernando Enns) stattfinden, allerdings außerhalb der ÖRK Vollversammlung am 26.10. in Seoul unter Beteiligung von unterschiedlichen Gruppen in Korea. Es geht darum entsprechende Forderungen aus Jamaika umzusetzten, ein Forum zu schaffen, bei dem sich Menschen zusammentun, die zu diesen Thema arbeiten und unsere Partnerkirchen zu motivieren, auch diesen Aspekt der Arbeit für den Frieden auf der koreanischen Halbinsel in ihre Agenda aufzunehmen. Beteiligt ist auch Renke Brahms, Beauftragter des Rates der EKD für KDV.
