Jurgen Domian is something like the "talk king" of the night. On WDR, he spoke to about 18 over the past 13 years.000 people. Now his debut novel "The Day the Sun Disappeared" has been published. On this site he talks about the questions of guilt and atonement, how man finds forgiveness in religion and why life can be a constant struggle.

"The Day the Sun Disappeared" is about Lorenz who, on a summer day, sees the sky darkening and it getting colder and colder. He finds that at the same time all the people have disappeared. When it starts snowing in the following days, Lorenz begins to prepare himself to live with the situation for a longer period of time and stocks up on food, heating material and other supplies. Then, after holed up in his apartment living his life in solitude, he begins to ponder his life and the past.The 288-page book has just been published by Heyne-Verlag and is available in bookstores for 8.95 euros.
How did you come up with the novel idea?
Your main character, Lorenz, works in the dark for a year. You yourself work at night. Is there a connection?
Marie, Lorenz's longtime companion, is always on Lorenz's mind during the course of the novel – what role does she play??
Guilt is a highly moral topic – a topic that you always carry around with you? Even without this darkness?
Where can man find forgiveness?
I think Lorenz is very brave with the baggage of guilt on his shoulders. Is he an extraordinary person?
Discipline is an important quality?
Does Lorenz also have a spiritual side??
On the way to Marie's grave, the unexpected happens – he finds a person. Finn, who actually also wanted to die. Both go back to Lorenz's attic apartment, live together and develop a deep friendship. Such a friendship – is that a utopia?? Do you have to get into such an extreme situation to tell each other so much among men??
What did you realize about writing the book??
Dealing with guilt plays a central role in her novel. Would you like to animate the reader to bravely ask himself this question of guilt and how to deal with it?
Jurgen Domian: Yes, absolutely. I believe that many people do the same. But also despair of it. Because they don't really know what stance to take. But it's very central, yes.

Under the impression of the debate about the abuse processing in the archdiocese of Cologne, a two-day online meeting of the reform project Synodal Way began on Thursday. Abuse victims also had their say.

Cologne's Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki and Hamburg's Archbishop Stefan Hebe had spoken out for the first time in weeks before the conference. Woelki admitted before and during the meeting mistakes in the processing in his archdiocese. Hamburg's Archbishop Stefan Hebe, who had previously been head of personnel in Cologne, said in an interview with the "Neue Osnabrucker Zeitung" that he had thought about letting his office rest.

For Limburg Bishop and President of the German Bishops' Conference, Georg Batzing, the credibility of the Synodal Way depends on how the scandal is handled. In a press conference before the online conference, he spoke of a "touchstone" that would determine success. The synodal presidium emphasized in a letter that the abuse investigation in Cologne had destroyed trust and left many in doubt about the "will of church authorities to unreservedly clarify the situation".

Clear letter from the presidium

The presidium letter, signed by Batzing and the president of the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK), Thomas Sternberg, among others, says: "Violations of the law, conduct contrary to duty and procedural errors must be punished everywhere in accordance with the law and without regard to the individual."Those responsible must draw consequences, whereby "even a resignation should not be taboo".

The Bishops' Conference commissioner for abuse, Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, reported on the improved structures for coming to terms with abuse. He spoke of the need for even greater involvement of affected people and professionals in the dioceses. The interdisciplinary commissions are to exchange information among themselves and cooperate with specialized counseling centers.

Abuse victims speak out for the first time

Afterwards, the three spokespersons of the affected persons' advisory board set up by the bishops' conference, Johannes Norpoth, Kai Moritz and Johanna Beck, expressed their views. They stressed that the Synodal Way must no longer forego the voice of those concerned. "Talking to those affected is more beneficial and empathetic than talking about them," Norpoth said. Beck called for questioning power structures.

Woelki acknowledged in his remarks during the online conference that trust had been lost. He himself was responsible for mistakes, and he was sorry that those affected had been traumatized again as a result. Woelki renewed the promise that he wants clarification and reappraisal. In the Archdiocese of Cologne, he said, personal and systemic responsibilities will be clearly identified. Several participants at the conference had previously criticized Woelki in speeches. However, he also received isolated encouragement. ZdK Vice President Karin Kortmann thanked Woelki for his new promise of clarification and said synod members would take the cardinal at his word.

Of the 229 synod members, 221 had registered for the corona-conditioned format, that is 96.5 percent. The synodal assembly is the highest decision-making body of the Synodal Way. At the virtual conference, the four forums of the Synodal Way want to give insight into their work. They devoted themselves to the contents of the reform dialogue: Power, the priestly way of life, sexual morality and the role of women.

With their decision, the Brazilian government wants to accelerate the controversial project that will not come to the poor, as claimed, benefits

With regard to the 2006 elections in Brazil, Lula Da Silva has something special for the "Velho Chico" Established (Rio Sao Francisco – Lulas Transamazônica?To). However, his tarpaulin stobbing in some brazilians on little counter-love – especially in the enabled main beneficiaries, the population of the semi-domestic northeast. Especially because of this renitent clientelium, the gait was now created, Democratic brake pad you sit aside.

The Brazilian Environmental Office Ibama (Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renovaveis) should organize the federal states in the states concerned in order to achieve a positive or negative decision on a permit of the construction project. Of the eight abandonments were held (in the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Ceara, Paraiba and Pernambuco), the others were aborted due to loud protests – as in Sergipe and Maceio. A new edition of hearings is unlikely.

In order to prevent another delay of the project, the Government, during the Carnival, announced the beginning of the work in May – independently of the exit of further, possibly still held annulment and paid by the massive protests of the last weeks. And some Brazilian is now eliminated, Wofur and whatever hopes accompanies this government has once started.

Fruit attachment in the Sao Francisco valley through the state codeVASF. CA are currently about. 100,000 hectares. The aim is the expansion on the agricultural industrial sector, including areas such as aquaculture. In 2003, 95% of Brazilian mango exports came from the area.

A World Bank Experts, which was demanded by Journalists, had advised against the redirection and instead should be considered that the poor of the area is not – as claimed by the government officials – to pay the project’s facilitated. In particular, the North Channel Section, which Lula has already named Furtado after the OKONOM CELSO, is oconomically askwurrdig: With his help, the cost of avoiding agricultural useful flats was allocated to the population. Again, the Brazilian society will be asked to pay for the benefit of rough local exporters of agricultural products as well as importers in the industrialized nations.

The World Bank Report brings the government into a difficult position, but he also damages the ratio to the redirect lobby. And the government, in turn, leave nothing for nothing to compelerate and discredit the report. Because he also raises uncomfortable questions, Z.B. After the numerous unfinished or. Broke water supply and garbage projects in the region.

In addition, it is estimated that with the project preparation, the water bills for the inhabitants of the city’s northeast will be up to 30% more expensive. This is an unpleasant number – the Hydrologist Joao Abner Guimaraes Filho, Universidade Federal DO Rio Grande do Norte, calls the whole thing "A kind of Trojan horse". Paulo Brito, head project coordinator of the government, gladly helps and denounces critics who handle this number, as a terrorist – because of the facts of the "Apocalyptic propaganda".

Nonetheless – Brito emphasizes that, the World Bank (next to Japan Bank for International Cooperation) appears as a donor. However, she wants to see the coarse part of the funds in improving the situation so far underserved areas – nationwide.

The Chef Coordinator of the Comitê Da Bacia Hidrografico do Sao Francisco (CBHSF), Luiz Carlos da Silveira Fontes, also has unclear questions to offer, Z.B.:

If it is the intention of Lulas to help people suffering from dryness, which is why he is on the enforcement of this project, which has proven only the prime concerned interests of the elites of "Durre industry", Gross farms, companies and politicians serves?

But the representatives of the state power want those skilled in the art, who still prefer projects to revive the river and its adjoining areas, no longer.

Suitable Portuguese Journalists for Grande Reporting (Jornal de Noticias, Diario de Noticias) just the real meaning of state colors and their proportions – as Brazil here.

Grun: People who live with less than $ 10 a month Yellow: people who live with less than $ 100 a month Blue: people who live with less than $ 1000 a month wife: people with more than 100,000 dollars per Living month (other versions give $ 500,000)

The motto not shown for the French Positive Positive Auguste Comte (1798-1857) "Ordem E Progresso" ("order and progress") appears in another light.
