Understanding Christ
The Goetheanum Leadership contemplates approaches to Christ, the situation of anthroposophy and the requirements of the Sections.
Over the past year the Goetheanum Leadership has studied the Foundation Stone Meditation in depth. Now it is contemplating the Christ impulse as a universally human phenomenon. What is special about looking at Christ from a non-confessional point of view is that one can leave behind any local or cultural ties and see in Christ a force that is at work in all of humanity and on all continents. This question is also particularly relevant because anthroposophy is increasingly practised in non-Christian cultures. However, all present members of the Goetheanum Leadership have a Western Christian background and have therefore the wish to look more closely at certain conventions.
In recent months, the Goetheanum Leadership has also considered the situation of anthroposophy and of anthroposophical institutions in various countries. Their wish is to gain a better understanding of these situations in order to be better able to work together on common tasks. What, for instance, do the British requirements for safety and safeguarding and the way the Waldorf Schools there respond to these requirements mean for the Goetheanum Leadership? How is it dealing with this question?
Within the School of Spiritual Science, new leaders need to be appointed for the General Anthroposophical Section, the Visual Arts Section and the Natural Science Section. As part of these discussions the Goetheanum Leadership is also reviewing all the other Sections and their leadership.
