Bishop Michael Buenker, Hannes Swoboda and PEN President Helmut A. Niederle are going to present the program of the 1st European tolerance talks on 18th March at a press briefing in the PEN Club Austria Bankgasse, 1010 Vienna. If you want to join this event, you are welcome! Please announce your coming via presse@fresach.org until 16th March. Bishop Buenker, the head of the Evangelical Church A.B. in Austria, grew up in Radenthein in Carinthia and therefore has a close relationship with the nearby mountain village Fresach. The small settlement above the Drava Valley played an important role even in the early days of the Reformation. Fresach holds the oldest Protestant prayer house in the country.
