Seit den jüngsten Verfolgungen der Jesiden im Irak ist die religiöse Minderheit fast täglich Thema von Nachrichten und Presse - aber grundlegende Informationen und Medien zu ihrer Kultur und Religion sind rar. Das vorliegende Buch, zweisprachig in Deutsch und Kurdisch erschienen, ist kein religionspädagogisches Buch, sondern ein Dialog und Wissensaustauch des Autors Jan Ilhan Kizilhan mit jesidischen Kindern und Jugendlichen. Da es an schriftlichen Quellen fehlt, sind in der Kultur der Jesiden vor allem mündliche Überlieferungen von Bedeutung. Um vor diesem Hintergrund zuverlässiges Wissen zu sichern und auch Menschen mit anderen Glaubens- und Denkhaltungen zugänglich zu machen, hat Jan Ilhan Kizilhan in Gesprächen mit jesidischen Kindern und Jugendlichen Antworten zu drängenden Fragen jesidischer Menschen gesucht. Neben Fragen zu Geschichte und Religion geht es dabei ebenso um Kriegs-, Trauma- und Migrationserfahrungen. Auch für Nicht-Jesiden ein einzigartiges Buch für das gegenseitige Verstehen und die Kenntnis zu tagespolitischen Ereignissen. Für ältere Kinder und Jugendliche verständlich, genauso jedoch für Erwachsene interessant ohne Vergleichstitel. Wichtig für alle Büchereien! (Susanne Brandt)

Different organizational structures of the Catholic Church in Slovenia were a reflection of the circumstances in the Christian community in the Central European region. Being a basic structure, a diocese has existed since the antique period. The diocese is a religious community with a centre in a large settlement (civitas). With the spread of Christianity into the rural areas and into the peasant environment, parishes began to come into existence. In historiography, the terms 'primitive parishes' began to be used to refer to the oldest parishes. They were characterized by their vastness. The number of primitive parishes increased in the 12th century. Due to remoteness of diocesan centres from the communities in rural areas and because of the inability of bishops to be in touch with the priests in rural areas, intermediate stages of organization were coming into existence during centuries, i.e., archdeaconries and deaneries at some places. Some important changes occurred in the operation of the Catholic Church and in its organization in Slovenia during the years after the Second World War. New parishes were established. The change of the state boundaries required changing the diocesan boundaries. Finally, the creation of the independent state of the Republic of Slovenia required a new setting up of the pastoral work and a new territorial organization of dioceses.

The ethical distress of the (post)modern world stimulates and directs us to reflect our ethical and cultural grounds. Man is a transcendent being. He cannot reach or put in order immediate goods he needs if he is not prepared to acknowledge the grounds of his person and develop the virtues of prudence, love, hope, faith, wisdom, justice, courage, temperance etc. These are ethical questions concerning different worldviews and cannot be solved only by scientific methods. Many people who in the past did not care for religion as such, now take seriously religious personal and societal aspects of humane life. The fundamental crucial questions of man are ethical questions. They are in various ways related or perplexed with the question of faith and of science.
