Sonntag muss Kirchtag sein [Sunday must be (a) feast day]


Sonntag muss Kirchtag sein

Martin Kilian aus Washington am Samstag den 4. April 2015

Kleine Geschichte



In den 50er-Jahren war der Gottesdienst für die ganze Familie noch Pflicht. Foto: Getty

«Der amerikanische Sonntag ist eine runde Sache: Man steht auf, frühstückt im Bademantel Eier mit Speck und Bratkartoffeln («House Fries»), dazu Waffeln mit Ahornsirup und Butter mitsamt Kaffee sowie einem Mimosa-Cocktail aus Champagner und frischgepresstem Orangensaft. Eine Bloody Mary tut es natürlich auch. Danach geht der echte Amerikaner zurück ins Bett zum Workout-Sex oder zum Jagen, Fischen und Sammeln. Er ist ein passionierter Jäger und Sammler.

Wer einen ruhigeren Ablauf seines freien Tages vorzieht, platziert sich schon morgens vor den TV und sieht fern. Es gibt Shows mit Celebrity-Köchen oder Werbefernsehen und auf CNN sogar Krisen aus aller Welt. Da der Aktienmarkt ruht, sind sonntags weder Gewinne noch Verluste zu verzeichnen. Die Kreditkarten hingegen ruhen nicht, denn bereits um zehn Uhr öffnen die Einkaufszentren und laden zu hemmungslosem Shopping am Tag des Herrn ein. Für alle, die arbeiten müssen – und das sind viele Amerikaner! – , findet der Sonntag am Dienstag oder sonstwann statt.

Dieser lässige Umgang mit dem Sonntag erregt den Unmut von Leuten, die den sittlichen wie moralischen Niedergang Amerikas beklagen und allerorten Teufelswerk wie die Homoehe wittern. Dass die Amerikaner immer weniger in die Kirchen strömen, obschon auf ihren Geldscheinen ausdrücklich vermerkt wird, sie vertrauten «auf Gott», erregt zudem seit geraumer Zeit den Unmut der Gegner einer allzu saloppen Interpretation des Sonntags.




Sie will die Moral in die Gesellschaft zurückbringen: Staatssenatorin Sylvia Allen. Foto: Gage Skidmore/Flickr

Was sie wirklich denken, enthüllte kürzlich eine gewisse Sylvia Allen, von BerufRepublikanerin im Staatssenat von Arizona. Frau Sylvia repräsentiert die Kleinstadt Snowflake, was auf deutsch «Schneeflocke» bedeutet, jedoch weniger herzig ist, als man denkt. Denn Snowflake wurde 1878 von Erastus Snow und William Jordan Flake gegründet. Snow und Flake - alles klar? Synapsen okay? Die Gründerväter waren Mormonen, auch Frau Sylvia bekennt sich zu diesem Glauben.

Nun begab es sich unlängst, dass der Senat in Arizona mal wieder die Erlaubnis zumTragen verdeckter Schusswaffen in öffentlichen Gebäuden debattierte. Eine derartige Erlaubnis ist nicht ohne: Leute mit versteckten Ballermännern könnten durch die Korridore von Gerichten und Finanzämtern streifen und andere Leute massakrieren, wie dies leider dann und wann in Amerika geschieht. Frau Sylvia freilich suchte die Schuld nicht bei den Schusswaffen, sondern in den «verdorbenen Seelen» der Menschen.

Und deshalb verlangte sie eine «moralische Wiedergeburt» Amerikas sowie ein Ende der Erosion von Religion. «Wahrscheinlich», entfuhr es ihr, «sollten wir ein Gesetz debattieren, das jeden Amerikaner dazu verpflichtet, am Sonntag die Kirche seiner Wahl zu besuchen». Moment mal! Das ist extrem heavy! Vor allem, da Frau Sylvia sich wehmütig an die fünfziger Jahre erinnerte, als alle Läden am Sonntag geschlossen waren und die Leute in die Kirche gingen, statt sich sonntags mit Mimosas und Sex zu vergnügen. Oder eben jagen und sammeln zu gehen.

Einmal davon abgesehen, dass Afroamerikaner in den fünfziger Jahren hinten im Bus sitzen und Homosexuelle um ihr Leben fürchten mussten und Frauen insgesamt weniger als ihre Haustiere zu sagen hatten und Richard Nixon Vizepräsident war: Wie bitte soll der Zwangsbesuch in der Kirche «meiner Wahl» administrativ vonstatten gehen? Was ist mit Atheisten und Agnostikern? Mit Theisten und Heiden? Zorastergläubigen? Punks? Santeria? Und wer soll den Transport Widerstrebender in die Kirchen bezahlen? Gibt es eine spezielle Polizeitruppe?

Fragen über Fragen werden laut. Es scheint, als habe Frau Sylvia ihre «moralische Wiedergeburt» eher nachlässig durchdacht. Das Konzept hat offenkundig profunde Lücken. Da gilt es nochmals nachzufassen! Frau Sylvia?

Sunday must be (a) feast day

Martin Kilian from Washington on Saturday the 4 April 2015
little story Church Thanksgiving


Church Thanksgiving
In the 1950s, the church service for the family was still required. Photo: Getty



«The American Sunday is a round thing: one stands up, in a bathrobe, breakfast eggswith Bacon and fried potatoes («House fries»), to waffles with maple syrup and butteralong with coffee and a Mimosa cocktail of champagne and fresh squeezed orange juice.» Of course, it is a Bloody Mary. Then the real Americans goes back to bed to the workout sex or hunting, fishing and gathering. He is a passionate Hunter and collector.

If you prefer a quieter end of his free day, placed already in the morning before the TVand watch TV. There are shows with celebrity chefs or commercial television and CNN even crises around the world. Since the stock market are neither gains nor losses recorded on Sunday. The credit cards, however, does not rest, because already at teno'clock the malls open and invite to uninhibited shopping on the day of the Lord. Forall those who work have to - and that many Americans! -takes place the Sunday to Tuesday or sonstwann.

This casual handling of Sunday aroused the resentment of people who complain about the moral as moral decline of America and everywhere smell Devil's work such as the gay marriage. That Americans always less in the churches flock, although on their money explicitly, stated they trusted «God», also aroused the displeasure of theopponents of a too popular interpretation of the Sunday for quite some time.

She wants to bring back the morality in the society: State Senator Sylvia all. Photo:Gage Skidmore/Flickr

What they really think, revealed a certain Sylvia Allen, of professional recently Republican in the State Senate of Arizona. Mrs Sylvia represents the town snowflake,what means, but less herzig on german «snowflake», than one might think. Snowflake was founded in 1878 by Erastus snow and William Jordan Flake? Snow and Flake - allright? Synapses okay? The founding fathers were Mormon, also wife Sylvia is committed to this belief.

Now it came recently, that the Arizona Senate again debated the permission to carry concealed weapons in public buildings. Such permission is not without: people with hidden shooting men could through the corridors of courts and tax offices and massacring people, like this unfortunately then and when happens in America. Mrs. Sylvia however sought blaming not the guns, but in the «corrupted souls».

And that's why she demanded a «moral rebirth» America's, as well as an end to the erosion of religion. «Likely», it said, «should we are debating a law that required every American to attend the Church of his choice on Sunday» Wait a minute! This is extremely heavy! Especially, since Mrs. Sylvia wistfully remembered the fifties, as all the stores on Sunday were closed and the people in the church went instead to enjoy Sunday with Mimosas and sex. Or just hunt and gather to go.

Even apart from African-Americans back had to sit in the 1950s in the bus and fear homosexuals for their lives and women had a total to say less than their pets, and Richard Nixon was Vice President: how should please the compulsory visit to the Church of «my choice» take administratively place? What about atheists and agnostics? With theists and pagans? Zorastergläubigen? Punks? Santería? And who should pay for transporting resistive in the churches? There is a special police force?

Questions about questions be loud. It seems rather carelessly, wife Sylvia have thought through their "moral rebirth". The concept has evidently profound gaps. There it is again to cover up! Mrs Sylvia?

Statement of Amazing Discoveries Germany regarding the accusations of anti-semitism in Germany



In October 2012, Prof. Walter Veith presented a series entitled “Sturm aus dem Norden” [English series: “Repairing the Breach”] in the Seventh-day Adventist Church Marienberg in Nürnberg. Amazing Discoveries Germany (AD) streamed the event live on its internet channel AD TV so that as many Adventists, guests and friends as possible would be able to participate in the presentations. Our office received a lot of positive feedback.

Only a few days after, an aggressive publication appeared by the private news agency European Adventist News Network [EANN]. Under the heading “Veiths gefährliches Spiel mit der Judenfrage” [Veith’s Dangerous Game with the Jewish Question – a disturbing fact-check] author Dietmar Päschel, a journalist for the EANN, suggested by means of a so-called “reality check” that a major part of the presentation was actually made up out of thin air. Päschel claimed Veith’s message based on the Khazar theory, which has only recently been further backed up by new genetic research [here in English: Science Daily and AFP], to be “scientifically disproven”. Above all, he accused the evangelist of “anti-Semitic views” and even “downplaying the [Jewish] Holocaust”.
Some facts will help put the matter into perspective. Already in November 2011 EANN had published „Die Weltverschwörung. Ein Einblick in die dunkle Ideenwelt des Walter Veith“ [English article: The Dark Fantasy World of Walter Veith], an extremely polemic, faulty and simply insulting article that styled Veith as a “religious businessman” being caught in an irrational fantasy world and assailing his audience with a crude sequence of suggestive slides. EANN then further discussed the very diverging responses of its readers under the heading “Walter Veith polarisiert EANN-Leser” [Walter Veith polarizing EANN readers], as if Veith and not their own article were the cause of the polarization. In June 2012, Päschel in a 20-page paper “Veiths Lehre bei NS-Anhängern” [Veith’s teachings among Nazi adherents] endeavored to prove that Veith was no “authentic preacher of Adventist beliefs”. Though his artificial arguments are far from valid, they reveal all the more the author’s negative attitude towards the speaker and a subtle attempt to tie Veith’s message to right-wing extremism.

Against this backdrop, Päschel’s latest attack appears as part of a planned crusade. Shortly afterwards, Amazing Discoveries Germany received word that a press organ had triggered off a preliminary investigation of the presentations at the Prosecuting Attorney’s office in Nürnberg for the potential offense of sedition and Holocaust denial. EANN editor Martin Haase commented to Norbert Zens, Treasurer of the Intereuropean Division EUD, that EANN neither filed a charge at the prosecution office nor asked the police for inspection. The Attorney’s office in Nürnberg however, after having closed the proceedings, confirmed to us that the critical impetus had indeed originated with an EANN journalist. In an email dated from November 11, 2012 to the Prosecuting Attorney in Nürnberg, the journalist intimates on grounds of EANN reader comments and the public dissociation by SDA Church leadership that Veith’s presentation had called forth great agitation and was obviously “criminally relevant”. He then asks four suggestive questions conveying the impression this was a quite serious instance that certainly would bring about a complaint and criminal investigation. His letter does not contain a direct request to launch a preliminary investigation; instead it casts the speaker and its presentation in a light so negative that the Office’s reaction was predictable.

We are sad and concerned that contrary to Bible principles, legal proceedings have been induced against a fellow believer and that this course of action has not even been acknowledged when it was addressed.

Moreover, even one day before his article “Veiths gefährliches Spiel mit der Judenfrage”, EANN journalist Dietmar Päschel had, in an urgent appeal written to the two German union conferences, demanded consequences against Veith. Under the pressure of EANN and some Adventist lawyers, the church leaders hastily drew up a public statement condemning in strong terms Veith’s alleged anti-Semitic utterances. Here is an excerpt: (translated from the German):

We dissociate from such statements and conspiracy. . . Here is a speculative worldview, there is no basis in the Bible and it distracts from the real purpose of the gospel. Moreover, that the manner of the presentation is not an ethically justifiable way of dealing with other religions. The Adventist departments and communities are encouraged to ensure that such events take place neither in our name nor in our premises.

It is quite surprising that the concerned leaders of the German-speaking territory (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) issued a declaration on a presentation that at this time had been live-aired once only without any public recordings being available. This begs the question to what extent an objective assessment of the contents was then at all possible.

Early in January 2013, the united board of the two German unions (FiD, „Freikirche in Deutschland“) renewed an earlier speaking ban without previously talking to Walter Veith or Amazing Discoveries Germany, despite the fact that Bro. Veith was (and remains) a properly ordained evangelist of the SDA Church and is therefore according to current policy legitimized as a speaker world-wide.

While the German administration repeatedly presented their point of view in the Church magazine Adventisten heute [Adventists Today] (last time in March 2013), the publication of a reply of Walter Veith and Amazing Discoveries Germany was being strictly denied. Except for a letter to the editor by AD Germany that was put on the website (!) of the Adventverlag [German SDA publishing house], not a single letter of readers was published even though whole churches sent letters of protest to the administration (SDA Church Müllheim, members of the SDA Churches Würzburg, Schweinfurt, Bad Kissingen, SDA Church Bendorf I). [In addition, many people world-wide sent letters addressed directly to Bruno Vertallier, division president of the Euro-African Division, outlining their disappointment in the way the church dealt with this issue and requesting them to rescind their ban on Walter Veith. ]

In May 2013, a motion to annul the speaking ban was supported by a great majority of the general assembly of the SDA Church Nürnberg-Marienberg and sent to the FiD. Furthermore, the obvious grievance of the German administration deviating from the universally applicable SDA Working Policy when it comes to the invitation of external speakers was being addressed. Both motions were not allowed to be heard but returned with a note that no local church but FiD members only were entitled to bring up a motion.

In contrast to the procedure of our church administration, the approach of the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is remarkable: After receiving EANN’s inquiry concerning sedition and minimization of the Holocaust, the Head Elder of the organizing church Nürnberg-Marienberg was interrogated as a witness. Then they asked for legal copies of the presentations and took time to thoroughly look into them.

After six months, the Attorney’s Office has now communicated that the speaker “neither committed the criminal offence of sedition according to §130 par. 1,2 StGB, nor of Holocaust denial according to §130 par. 3 StGB. In particular the persecution of the Jews during the Third Reich is not being negated, instead only unusual views about it are being advocated … Overall, after reviewing the contents of the presentation no criminal investigation proceedings will be initiated.”

Although EANN reported in an article about the Prosecuting Attorney’s final assessment, Päschel in no wise revoked his misjudgment that Veith had downplayed the Holocaust and thereby committed a form of Holocaust denial. He even affirmed the old charge of anti-Semitism which, in light of the Attorney’s conclusion, must be counted as deliberate defamation.

Connected to this public piece of information by Amazing Discovery Germany is the request to the EUD and the German Unions to correct their condemning attitude towards Walter Veith; also to generally examine the procedure concerning the invitation of guest speakers and conform it to the worldwide conventions of the SDA Working Policy.

In consideration of the above occurrences, we appeal to our Unions and Conferences to review their relations to EANN and their members including a critical evaluation of their public name since the abbreviation EANN is borrowed from ANN (Adventist News Network) and conveys the misleading impression of an official SDA press organ (European Adventist News Network, as the EANN vice chief editor confirmed [his statement has disappeared from his website meanwhile]). A misguidance of the reading public is to be prevented by all means. The same applies to the website “Adventist Leadership” that is adorning itself with the name “Adventist” but really is privately issued by Martin Haase. We are observing an increasing confusion through private organizations looking official to all appearances and entertaining noticeably good ties to leading SDA circles. We reject any attempt of covertly influencing our churches or the public and call upon each leader to express their views openly and by means of the official channels.

We want to emphasize that it is the intention of this document to clarify the issue and that it has been written out of concern for our Church that we love. Our brothers and sisters must not, through biased information, be led to wrong conclusions. They should be able to form their own opinions and to express their sentiments on current events. A partial gag order as in the case of Walter Veith is a virtual denial of their right to think for themselves. When confidence has thus been damaged it cannot be redeemed by just more emphatically insistence of administrative authority. We need to return to our Biblical concept of spiritual authority, and to deal with one another as humble-minded according to the word of Jesus: “You are all brothers.” (Matthew 23:8)

(MI­DI, score).

William B. Bradbury (1816-1868)

The Rev. Dr. Jacob Cham­ber­lain, who for ma­ny years has been work­ing among the Hin­dus, writes as fol­lows re­gard­ing this hymn, long one of the most pop­u­lar child­ren’s songs in the world: “Ma­ny years ago I trans­lat­ed in­to Tel­e­gu the child­ren’s hymn, ‘Je­sus loves me’ and taught it to the child­ren of our day-school. Scarce­ly a week lat­er, as I was go­ing through the nar­row streets of the na­tive town on horse­back, I heard sing­ing that sound­ed na­tur­al, down a side street. I stopped to list­en, cau­tious­ly draw­ing up to the cor­ner, where un­ob­served I could look down the street and see and hear. And there was a lit­tle hea­then boy, with hea­then men and wo­men stand­ing around him, sing­ing away at the top of his voice: ‘Je­sus loves me this I know…’

As he com­plet­ed the verse some one asked the quest­ion: ‘Son­ny, where did you learn that song?’ ‘Over at the Mis­sion­a­ry School,’ was the an­swer. ‘Who is that Je­sus, and what is the Bi­ble?’ ‘Oh! the Bi­ble is the book from God, they say, to teach us how to get to hea­ven, and Je­sus is the name of the di­vine Re­deem­er that came in­to the world to save us from our sins; that is what the mis­sion­ar­ies say.’ ‘Well, the song is a nice one. Come, sing us some more.’ And so the lit­tle boy went on—a hea­then himself, and sing­ing to the hea­then—about Je­sus and his love. ‘That is preach­ing the Gos­pel by proxy,’ I said to my­self, as I turned my po­ny and rode away, well sa­tis­fied to leave my lit­tle proxy to tell his in­ter­est­ed au­di­ence all he him­self knew, and sing to them over and over that sweet song of sal­va­tion.”

Sankey, pp. 179-80

In 1891, when my grand­fa­ther, Rev. Har­u­tune S. Je­nan­yan, took his wife and lit­tle daugh­ter on a per­i­lous and dan­ger­ous mis­sion­a­ry jour­ney from Tar­sus, Asia Mi­nor, the ci­ty of St. Paul, to Si­vas in Ar­men­ia, they tra­velled on horse-back through rob­ber-in­fest­ed coun­try for four­teen days. Two of the lead­ing rob­ber chiefs on that ter­ri­to­ry were Chol­lo, whose “name cast ter­ror on ev­ery side” since he had suc­cess­ful­ly evad­ed pur­su­ing Gov­ern­ment forc­es for ma­ny months, and Ka­ra Ag­ha, a fa­mous Koor­ish chief, whose name caused even the fear­some Chol­lo to trem­ble. Har­u­tune took his small par­ty di­rect­ly in­to the heart of Ka­ra Ag­ha’s coun­try, tell­ing those he met en­route that he was go­ing to be Ag­ha’s guest in his own vill­age. When they reached the bri­gand’s head-quar­ters, the mis­sion­a­ry asked that they be re­ceived as guests for the night. The sur­prised rob­ber chief gave them ac­com­mo­da­tions, en­ter­tain­ing Har­u­tune in his own spa­cious tent while his wife, Hel­ene, and their lit­tle daugh­ter, Grace were cared for in ano­ther tent by the wo­men of the vill­age. The next morn­ing, be­fore tak­ing their leave, the mis­sion­ary asked for per­miss­ion to read a por­tion of the Ho­ly Script­ure, and then of­fered a pray­er. See­ing that the chief was some­what af­fect­ed, he then said, “Do you wish to have the lit­tle child sing for you?” The chief re­plied, “Oh yes; can she?” Then lit­tle Grace, on­ly three-and-a-half years old, came for­ward and stood be­fore the tall old man and sang two songs she had re­cent­ly learned in the Sun­day School in Tar­sus, sing­ing them in the na­tive tongue, “Je­sus loves me, this I know” and “I want to be an an­gel”. The chief was so deep­ly touched, that he sent his own son, Bek­keer Ag­ha, mount­ed on a hand­some Ar­a­bi­an steed, to lead the small mis­sion­a­ry par­ty through the rest of his ter­ri­to­ry.
