This time I wanted to try something very oblique. A nine-cornered track plan with three diamonds. Great and exciting for most unbuildable due to space limitations.

religious teachers are so dangerous? Panel discussion

BZ reported on the federal government and organized by the VBG Teacher Education panel discussion at the University of Bern. Conclusion: Really they are not dangerous ...
I would really like to put across, that religious teachers do a thousand times as a very dedicated teachers is an important service and show above-average motivation. The free-thinker Mrs. Caspar told as an example of the "danger" that a child had come home from the day school and was suddenly at home also speak a blessing. This must not be expected to parents ...

"There is no value-free education!" My interview with the BZ of 6 June 2009

"There is no value-neutral Education

The reconciliation of faith and teaching provided at the last time for discussion. Grand Council of Willfried Gasser (EPP, Bern), this is not an issue. Especially for a teacher it is important to be open to their own faith to stand. Calls

Criticism of the compatibility of faith and teaching is becoming louder. For the greatest discontent makes the fear that proselytizing evangelical teachers could. The Swiss Protestant Alliance, whose president, you are placed himself behind the teachers. Why? Willfried Gasser: We are committed to integrated for a faith which is in connection with everyday, talk to the family life, personal integrity, social commitment and the profession. We do not want a faith that focuses as a religious ritual at the church. The faith should permeate the life. There can of course lead to problems. Especially in school, if not the wise will be addressed and some Christians try to impose their beliefs other. But I am assuming that this is a small minority.

is so small, the group apparently did not like the results of a current National Science Foundation project at the Bern University of Education show. Especially the strategic organization of the Free Churchmen is identified here as a problem. There you are eating up a conspiracy theory. It is not true that free Kirchler "push" at the College of Education. As a member of the "Head of the Conference of the Free Churches' I know that this has never been in any way an issue. But if you look back historically, Christians have shown over the centuries, much community involvement. The Christian element was represented accordingly has always strongly in education. The so-called "Fischli Group" is not a new element. There was always an above average high proportion of professing Christians in the social sector.

Many students and teachers more loudly express but your problems with the "Free Churchmen" in schools. So what do you attribute this? First, an important correction. The Free Churches are a very colorful Association, and is also professing Christians in the churches. \u0026lt;Die> Free Churchmen so there's not really. As the Evangelical Alliance, we encourage people to be more community outreach, and we want to sensitize the people that the faith out into society. This conviction is now represented by many independent churches. Probably not all the necessary wisdom to deal with dissenters. So it may well be that students perceive the clashing world views as a problem, but that's not so new.

runs Where is precisely the boundary between faith and proselytizing in the classroom? I do not think you can draw a sharp line. Faith is ultimately a statement. Any teacher, whether politically shaped green or very social, which is expressed. There are no value-neutral education. When I look back at my school, so I knew pretty well, for what the individual teachers are admitted, because what they were, has been incorporated. This is no different from Christians. It is therefore not possible, black and white borders to define. be discussed at a teacher training college, the stress fields on the basis of a model would have to open. It is good when students argue about certain issues. Especially in regard to cultural mixing.

here is yes but not just an attitude that someone takes. As the example of the evolution theory shows, evangelicals bothered to teach science. The group of Christians who reject the whole theory of evolution is very small. Most important is the creation of the belief that there is a God, who created the world and continues to be a relationship with us humans studied. That makes me out of the faith. Creation is not automatically in conflict with the theory of evolution. But where someone wants to explain away with Darwinism, the Creator, of course, this provokes devout Christians, and they point out that the theory of evolution can not answer all questions.

They argue not unrealistic? If such beliefs be incorporated into the mainstream curriculum, but must inevitably lead to friction with the science? I the science in my training had not experienced negative. It takes a certain humility on both sides. The tension is there and could increase further if, for example, increasingly, Muslim teachers at the school . Come But I think that every teacher can tell hinstehen and convinced of what he believes. No matter what faith he belongs. To say what one believes and the reasons for that, I think it is important for every person. And as teachers we have now once a certain character. Parents have this, too. I believe fundamentally that Christian values can bring in a lot of positives in the classroom. This has been partly so as humanistic values. The problem is a certain absolute claims that Christianity has always been. That to live in everyday life without the oppressive for others will be, challenging.

Should we expand the teaching of religion and lift on a scientific level? beliefs are also incorporated into the scientific work, but you have the layers in the school do not mix. The understanding of the world religions is very important. Moreover, it is equally important that people know their own roots. If you compare our culture with others, are worlds apart. I believe that we in Switzerland of Christianity as a dominant culture continues to need care. The better I know my own culture, the better I understand the other religions. But it must not degenerate into fanaticism.

The connection between faith and teaching you think is a problem? is what we have by now proven for centuries. On the contrary, a healthy faith belief fertilize the instruction of a teacher's positive.

the current discussion is therefore obsolete? I see it as an opportunity for educational institutions, is confident to deal with these questions, because Switzerland is a multicultural not over it. But much of it is very hyped and will pass. (Berner Zeitung)

interview to Marriage Week 2009

relationship killer and romantic moments

Christa Wilf Gasser and actively support the Marriage Week. To advise other couples to work but also aware of his own marriage. We asked the secret of a happy and stable marriage.


Christa Gasser, Gasser Wilf, What is the secret to a good marriage?

Wilf Gasser: We know much better what a marriage apart, brings as what makes a good marriage. Thus, carping criticism and contemptuous conduct secure relationship killer. In a good marriage is, however, retains the respect for each other and one has learned to leave another position. It is not also depend on the negatives, but can come and reflect on what has been positive in the other.

how much "maintenance" needs a marriage?

Christa Gasser: The "maintenance required" is very individual, but no one comes around it to invest in the marriage. And the sooner we start, the easier it is for us to stay well under way. But even if our "marriage house" should ever break down a whole wall of the house, the marriage is not easy in the end, but only once "broken" and can be restored. Very problematic in our view, the romantic Hollywood ideas, which fell entirely to build up feelings. Are these then evaporates and leads to severe conflicts, to set the relationship as a whole is in question and looks for a new one.

begins Where the marriage is usually the first to kriseln?

Wilf G.: This can not make sweeping statements. But surely it is problematic if it begins to annoy the otherness of the partner's, perhaps because the changes do not attempt to target or otherwise you must learn to live with unfulfilled expectations. Who here is not radical reconciliation is practiced, slow and bitter loses the heart connection.

What is the role of sex in marriage?

Chris G.: The importance of sex is overrated in general. Because even when in bed only a little or nothing is running, you can still have a good relationship. But sexuality is of course a brilliant opportunity to close in the relationship or proximity to produce the least. As we discover, based on sexuality as young people ourselves and know to stay, unfortunately, many trapped in this self-centered track. This is often exacerbated by pornography or romantic daydreams. Then, when the passionate feelings are gone, the sexual Encounter difficult. Couples must now learn from scratch to live sexuality focused on other's. Instead, give some to the relationship, or they come to terms with an unsatisfactory sexual relationship.

If children are a danger or a kit for a happy married life?

Wilf G.: Children are only a hazard if they become the partner replacement. But otherwise they enter a relationship and meaning and mission. This experience especially childless couples who have to their "life meaning" look much more aware. Who needs children as putty in the relationship, very dangerous.

What advice give to your couples who start a marriage in the long run do?

Chris G.: Couples must understand that relationship means more work. Most are found even under the motto "opposites attract". And the larger the differences are, the more must be invested in the "Bridge". It does so again and again a willingness to adapt to the partner or the partner to accept diversity, but also to themselves for change and compromise to be ready.
And the most important prerequisite for a lasting, happy marriage is a radical reconciliation.

What makes your concrete in the Marriage Week?

Wilf G.: there are hundreds throughout Switzerland of offers. We personally think again, a seminar on "Growing intimacy in marriage - way to a fulfilling sexuality." And in this context, we invite on Saturday evening and a public candlelight dinner with romantic background music, and short inputs on successful relationship. During the week we are invited twice a Marriage Week dinner, where we will also stop short inputs about growing intimacy.
private, we would like to invite some friends couples to jointly celebrate our marriages.
