Special Edition "Seelisberg@75", No.5
When the Seelisberg Conference that is known largely for its “Ten Theses” and for the founding of the International Council of Christians and Jews (ICCJ), took place from July 30 through August 5 in 1947, Europe was devastated by WW2 and all its horrific consequences. In this context, Jewish and Christian theologians gathered in the small town in Switzerland for an "International Emergency Conference on Antisemitism". The courage displayed by the participants must inspire us all to pursue our work in particular in these trying times.
