A sympathetic ear

Since the Annual General Meeting in 2018 more than twelve members under the age of 35 (most of them students) have been working together on the contents of the Christmas Conference of 1923/1924.

At the last AGM of the General Anthroposophical Society new ways of collaboration between members and the Vorstand came about. We, a group of young members, that came into being in order to study the Christmas Conference, were given the chance to put into practice some of what we worked on. It turned out that the rhythms of the Foundation Stone and the beautiful content of the Christmas Conference prepare us to meet in a respectful way in spite of different opinions.

Trust in one another

This kind of sticking together will continue to be our guideline. It also motivated our Open Space during the AGM, where the Vorstand gave us the trust to openly invite members to speak out their concerns. Carried by trust in one another a lot of quite controversial discussions could take place and will continue through the year by personal invitation to our group. A sympathetic ear for other members' views on how the Christmas Conference has developed over time will be our next focus. To work on a common ideal might help to overcome the mistrust around our Society.
