Society's Seed of Change: Vaccinate?!
by George Soldner, MD
The topic of vaccination elicits passionate responses. Why do we need to vaccinate earlier and earlier today? Georg Soldner in conversation with Wolfgang Held.
Wolfgang Held: Why is the debate on the topic of vaccination so intense?
Georg Soldner: The topic of vaccination has been polarized ever since there have been vaccinations. As early as 1860, there were statements from vaccination supporters and opponents that sound very similar to those from today. Then, as now, both sides tend to suppress facts that contradict their own view. We also noticed this when we drafted a worldwide position statement on the part of the Medical Section and the IVAA (International Association of Anthroposophic Physicians). Even within the anthroposophic movement, the reactions are contradictory. There were colleagues who welcomed it, and colleagues who feared it would be selling out anthroposophy.
Trabajando al servicio de los demás en The Fellowship Community
by Eleanor Zimmerman, Oona Younger, Paul Scharff, M.D., Ann Scharff, Elizabeth Scherer, Jairo Gonzalez, Yoko Conlon, Catherine Commerford
Cuidado de largo término para los mayores, intergeneracional, basado en el trabajo.
La Fellowship Community es una comunidad intencional que “predica y practica” día a día. Desde 1966, The Fellowship Community ha existido con un propósito de servicio. Más que por dinero, trabajamos para atender necesidades que se extienden por fuera de nosotros mismos. Esta forma de vida/trabajo atrae a aquellos que se han desilusionado, por una u otra razón, de la cultura dominante, así como a quienes quieren encontrar otras maneras de ser útiles en el mundo. Es una oportunidad real de crear una situación que puede funcionar para todos los que participan, sin importar la edad que se tenga ni las circunstancias personales -siempre que uno venga con un interés activo de ser útil. Cada dia presenta oportunidades para ayudar, demostrar compasión, trabajar y equivocarse... Y en ultimas dar pasos hacia un mayor bienestar. The Fellowship Community es una comunidad de cuidado a largo plazo, intergeneracional, fundamentada en el trabajo.

Dear Readers of LILIPOH:Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness–LiLiPoH–was the battle cry of the American revolution, of the call for a new commitment to fundamental rights and an expression of the basic ideas that stand behind the foundation of the USA as a republic. The idea of Liberty, Equality, and Brother/Sisterhood was at the center of the founding of the republic so many years ago.
These ideas are important but we see their erosion in front of our eyes. We see the lack of exposure of the children to those ideas, we see the blatant opposite in front of our eyes. From the racism and discrimination to the destruction of rain forests, the pollution of the oceans, the development of genetic manipulation--all we see around us is the attack on those ideals.
