Ecumenical workshop: Young Christians start dialogue in Admont!
From May 28 to June 1, 2025, an important “Pro Oriente” youth workshop takes place in the Benedictine Abbey Admont, in which around 20 young people from various Christian denominations will take part. This workshop aims to gather committed participants who are interested in ecumenical dialogue and multicultural exchange. Viola Raheb, program director of "Pro Oriente", emphasizes that this event is the second of its kind and fulfills the wish of the young people to also include relatives of the Catholic Church and Reformation traditions. The aim is to promote mutual understanding and common projects, while the young participants should also develop their leadership skills in order to actively contribute to the reform of the church and to social change, as [KathPress] reports.
In parallel from May 18 to 2025, also in the Admont Abbey, top -class scientific lectures under the motto "Culture and Memoria. The Styrian Abbey Admont and the European Benedictine". The speakers include internationally respected scientists from different countries that discuss the cultural contributions of the Benedictines on European development. Former Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel will give the lecture at the opening. This conference is organized in preparation for the anniversary year 2024, in which the Admont Abbey celebrates its 950th anniversary. Prof. Andreas Sohn, who realizes the conference, would like to shed light on how the monks culturally and scientifically influenced Europe and what significant role the monastery libraries have played since the Middle Ages, according to [katholisch.at].| Details | |
