Anthroposophical Societies in different countries
The diversity of cultures, religions and approaches to science or art is not merely tolerated in the Anthroposophical Society but, through the common focus of our shared humanity, can flow actively into mutual acceptance and fraternity.
The endeavour to understand the human being, to create and renew culture and to solve the global tasks of our time can direct our gaze to what we share. However this does not mean uniformity. In every cultural milieu, in all religions and also in different countries, anthroposophical work takes on its own particular colouring.
The Anthroposophical Societies in different countries represent one way of acknowledging these differences. Each society is an organisational umbrella of the local groups working in its country but is also represented at the Goetheanum in the person of its general secretary or (in the case of smaller national societies) by national representatives.
