When peace ethics becomes a literary and political contemporary issue
On Tuesday, July 14, 2026, the current debate about war, peace, and responsibility will meet a focused lecture evening with Prof. Reiner Anselm at the Markgrafenmuseum with the Kaspar Hauser Department in Ansbach. The event introduces the new peace position paper of the Evangelical Church in Germany and opens space for discussion, classification, and reflection.
An evening between language, conscience, and public sphere
The lecture presents central thoughts from World in Disorder – Just Peace in View. It focuses on the responsibility of the state, the limits of military deterrence, and the question of how peace, freedom, and justice can be thought together. Particularly in Ansbach, the historical place gives this evening a special reading atmosphere: The Markgrafenmuseum connects cultural memory with current intellectual debate.
Reiner Anselm as a voice of theological ethics
Reiner Anselm is a professor of systematic theology and ethics at the Evangelical Theological Faculty of LMU Munich. His areas of expertise are in political ethics as well as bioethics and medical ethics. As chairman of the editorial team of the EKD position paper, he brings the perspective of scientific precision and social responsibility to the event.
The place: Museum, city history, and discourse space
The Markgrafenmuseum with the Kaspar Hauser Department at Kaspar-Hauser-Platz 1 is one of the prominent cultural places in Ansbach. The location in the historic center provides a fitting framework for an author encounter that does not aim solely at a mere reading, but at a deeper engagement with language, ethics, and the present. For visitors, this creates a literary experience with intellectual depth.
What visitors can look forward to
The evening offers a compact introduction to the position paper, a discussion about the concept of just peace, and the opportunity to experience the peace ethics debate firsthand. Those seeking events with substantive depth, cultural relevance, and academic authority will find a date with character here.
Conclusion: In Ansbach, visitors can expect a clever, current, and stimulating conversation about peace, responsibility, and social orientation. Those who appreciate theological debates, literature in the broader cultural sense, and public education should experience this event live.
