EXCLUSIVE

                      Exclusive Interview

                                Dr. Hans Küng

                 uch ado has been
                 made about a docu-
                 ment called, “Towards
                 a     Global       Ethic.”
                 Authored by Catholic
theologian Hans Küng, its purpose is to
identify principles upon which all major
religions of the world can agree.
   “Towards a Global Ethic” was adopted
by the Council of the Parliament of the
World’s Religions at their 1993 Chicago
conference. It was taken to a higher
level, however, at the CPWR’s confer-
ence in Cape Town, South Africa this
past December. In Cape Town, Küng’s
Global Ethic was presented to govern-
ments, corporations, commerce, science,
medicine, universities, religious organiza-
tions and more. In other words, it was
                                              German theologian and author of the “Global Ethic”, Hans Küng

that guide and control the lives of every
person on earth. Appropriately it was         now been called upon to implement the          noia, consider that the prophecies of the

and it appears that the Global Ethic will
play a significant role. It may very well
become the “statement of faith” for the
prophesied global religion of the end-
times.
  Endtime recently spoke with Dr. Küng
by phone from his home in Augsburg,
Germany.

Global Ethic vs. the Bible
  Baxter: Can you please summarize for
us what the Global Ethic is trying to ac-
complish? What are the principles
behind it?

  Dr. Küng: The Global Ethic is, of
course, not a new ideology. It is not
something that would make the specific
ethics of the different religions and
philosophies irrelevant. It is, therefore,     The Big Four of the Allies chat while gathering in Versailles for the Treaty of Versailles, which offi-
no substitute for the Torah of the Jews or     cially ended World War I. They are, left to right, David Lloyd George of Great Britain, Vittorio

Nor is it the substitute for the courses of    sary is that we need people who are                  United Nations. We had a great deal of

   Baxter: In the Global Ethic you talk        Advocating a New World Order                         the New World Order, it raised a great
about the need to respect other religions.                                                          deal of hope, but when he was asked

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW Exclusive Interview Dr. Hans Küng Author of “Towards a Global Ethic” M uch ado has been made about a docu- ment called, “Towards a Global Ethic.” Authored by Catholic theologian Hans Küng, its purpose is to identify principles upon which all major religions of the world can agree. “Towards a Global Ethic” was adopted by the Council of the Parliament of the World’s Religions at their 1993 Chicago conference. It was taken to a higher level, however, at the CPWR’s confer- ence in Cape Town, South Africa this past December. In Cape Town, Küng’s Global Ethic was presented to govern- ments, corporations, commerce, science, medicine, universities, religious organiza- tions and more. In other words, it was German theologian and author of the “Global Ethic”, Hans Küng officially presented to the institutions that guide and control the lives of every person on earth. Appropriately it was now been called upon to implement the noia, consider that the prophecies of the named, “A Call to Our Guiding principles put forth in the Global Ethic.
