Brief Description of the “Berliner Reden zur Religionspolitik“
The organisation of a continuing series of lectures on religion and politics/economics in the by now traditional format of the “Berliner Reden zur Religionspolitik“, to be established at Humboldt University, Berlin in association with the Haniel Stiftung (Haniel Foundation), is intended to make the program known to a wider public. The ideas and concerns of the program are thus extended beyond the university and the academic sphere.
The „Berliner Reden zur Religionspolitik“, sponsored by the Haniel Foundation, have already received a broad and positive response, regionally and nationwide. The first lecture was delivered by the Federal Minister of the Interior, Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble, and broadcast by the television channel Phoenix . The second lecture was given by historian Prof Paul Nolte and published in the weekly Rheinischer Merkur. The third lecture took the form of a disputation between Professors Bernhard Schlink and Herfried Münkler, with close to 400 people attending. Prof José Casanova’s lecture in New York was printed in abridged form in the daily Süddeutsche Zeitung. In the autumn of 2006, the Federal Minister of Justice, Brigitte Zypries, delivered a lecture on religion and law which elicited a nationwide response. For 2007, Prof Di Fabio, judge at the Federal Constitutional Court , has accepted the invitation to give a lecture.
For the next “Berliner Reden” the Program on Religion and Politics plans to place an emphasis on the relationship between religion and economics. Thus, topics such as “Business Ethics”, “Family-Owned Businesses as the Realization of the Principle of Subsidiarity in Catholic Social Teaching” or “Economics and Values” will be addressed systematically and audibly in the German capital through lectures by experts from the world of business.
