W 40-lecie po ukazaniu się orędzia pojednania

Abstract

In the first part author describes political and social changes in the East Europe after the democratic turning point in Poland. “Proclamation of Reconciliation” given by Polish bishops in Rome on November 18th, 1965, to their German brothers created new relation ship between our countries. Documents based on teaching of the Second Vatican Council about reconciliation, brotherhood and ecumenism slowly changed minds of those who were against common agreement. In the last part the author describes Christian witnesses from Poland and Germany. There is a new way joining two countries, the way of peace, dialog and cooperation. In history we had Saint Wojciech (Adalbert), Brunon from Kwerfurt, Otton from Bamberg, Hedwig, Maksymilian Kolbe, Edith Stein, Bernhard Lichtenberg and many others. There are some historical possibilities of good relationships in the future
