Info

A system of this scope needs editors who are specialists respectively in cultural, geographical, linguistic and ecclesiastical-theological connections, for after all, the main point of the results they achieve is to promote, and not hinder ecumenical processes. After several attempts, it became clear to us operators that, above all, it is the mission departments that connect abilities in a really ideal way. The separate departments keep in close contact with their respective countries and, as a rule, the consultants grew up in these countries and are native speakers. Information about the countries is collected by the liaison consultant, in any case, and is documented by him. The decentralization of editorial assignments, which takes place by allocating control functions to colleagues from different cultural societies, must promote understanding between us, because it eliminates a Germanized editorial department, as it would prove to be in our case. This path we are taking using the capacities of mission departments seems to me to be desirable, sensible and worth striving for, as long as "reformed online" or even another system with a similar approach has not yet established itself in the different countries and cultural societies in such a form that these tasks could be taken over locally by the churches and associations, with the result that an Internet information and communication system would take over the function for which it was originally intended: a worldwide network run on an equal basis which is an expression of the Christian community of our time. I thank you for your attention. 30
