Klöster as creative places: spirituality meets modern use

Klöster as creative places: spirituality meets modern use

In an increasingly secular world, orders have the opportunity to act as "spiritual oases", as was emphasized at an international conference in Lucerne. The event was organized by the theological faculty and the Catholic relief organization of domestic mission. At this conference represented by Cornelia Hülmbauer, "Klosterwerberin", and Martina Resch from the Ku Linz, the project "Kloster as a writing" was presented, which focuses on the unique cultural and spiritual contributions of monasteries. Despite the tense situation of many orders in Europe that fight with membership loss, the participants remained optimistic about the role of monasteries in society. The Catholic Church must take on the challenge of secularization, which is progressing in particular in western countries, while in the global south the ordinary communities continue to flourish, such as kathpress reported.

wind power planning in the region

in parallel to the discussion about the role of medals in today's world, there are also significant developments at the political level, especially with regard to wind power in the Oberland. The planning committee has presented a new card that shows potential locations for wind turbines, whereby all 25 possible priority areas are in the northern part of the region and the south, including the Alps, remains unaffected. District Administrator Friedrich Zeller welcomed this result and underlined the comprehensive evaluation that was carried out for the creation of this card. Various factors such as wind potential and nature reserves flowed into the decision. Nevertheless, there is resistance in some communities that feel disadvantaged, like Mayor Jakob Eglseder from Otterfing, who noted that the energy transition could not be held on the back of his community. The authorities and citizens also have the opportunity to take a position before the final determination, such as merkur.de reported.
