FOR FOUNDATIONS: Panel discussion on the core questions of society

In Altenkirchen, the Evangelical Free Community (EFG) organized an informative panel discussion, to which local politicians and organizers were also invited. The focus of this debate was the role of the family in today's society, the core or possibly also their chaos should be found.

The evening began with a greeting by Hans Günter Schmidts from the community leadership, which greeted prominent guests such as the SPD parliamentary group leader Sabine Bätzing-Lichtenthäler and the Mayor Ralf Lindenpütz. Mark Schneider, head of the Altenkirchen youth welfare office, and teacher Stephan Windhövel were also part of the conversation. The audience was also able to win the insights of Helma Radermacher, who as mother and grandmother knows the family's challenges first -hand.

important observations on the family structure

The discussion participants agreed that the family still represents an essential pillar of society. Despite this unity, there was concern about the circumstances under which families are today. Mark Schneider reported that around 90 children have to be taken from difficult family conditions every year in order to look after them better. This number illustrates the challenges that many families have to cope with today.

The topic of domestic violence was also addressed. Bätzing-Lichtenthäler, which also works in the "Weisser Ring" organization, pointed out the shocking figures about violence in the family environment, which raises awareness of the different facets of the family structure. The city mayor also brought the responsibility of the parents to language, a topic that is becoming increasingly important today.

A central point in the conversation was the social cohesion within the family and its influence on the personal education of the children. Windhövel emphasized the importance of good relationships and appreciation in schools, while Held emphasized the role of Christian faith in the support of families. The EFG Altenkirchen offers numerous leisure activities for children who go beyond the school holidays, which shows how important the organization is in the life of these families.

The discussion continued to develop towards the necessary support and support for families. Bätzing-Lichtenthäler, himself a mother, spoke about the challenge of combining family and professional life. She made it clear that politics is responsible for enabling both parents to participate in a fair participation in professional life. The expectation was also expressed that families should have freedom to choose their own care and funding opportunities for their children.

Helma Radermacher reinforced this aspect with her personal experiences and made it clear that it was not only about political decisions, but also about individual decisions of the families themselves. The evening made a blessing of Pastor Nikolaj Lohmann and left a feeling of cohesion and a clear view of the challenges in front of the challenges. This topic is still relevant to relevance due to the challenges of the modern world and will certainly also be treated in future discussions of the EFG Altenkirchen.
