<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11pt">As of August 31, 2007, Pastor Mag. Manfred Golda is
retired. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11pt">Manfred Günter Erwin Golda was born on October 25,
1941 in Klagenfurt, where he was baptized by pastor Erich Pechel and confirmed
in the preaching office Velden am Wörther See by pastor Friedrich Krotz.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11pt">Manfred Golda went to school in Klagenfurt and
graduated in 1962 from the Federal Trade School for Mechanical Engineering. He
then spent a year in England attending a Bible School of the Torchbearers
Missionary Community. From 1963 to 1970 he studied theology in Vienna and
during this time worked in the student church. After passing his exams in
January 1970, he was a teaching vicar in Vienna's Inner City under the guidance
of Prof. Wilhelm, and was ordained by the latter on 11 July 1972, assisted by
Reverend Adolf Rücker (Vienna) and Pastor Friedrich Krotz (Pörtschach).<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11pt">As of December 1, 1972, Manfred Golda was also pastor
of this congregation, and in addition to his usual official duties supervised
the student church, held a lecture at the Protestant Theological Faculty of Old
Testament Exe- cution, and worked together with the Reformed and Catholic
Parish of St. Stephen founded the ecumenical bible study.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11pt">From 1978 to 1980, Manfred Golda worked at the
Institute for Cultural Affairs (ICA) in Frankfurt am Main and in Berlin West.
The ICA is a global institute that develops and communicates participatory
methods for community work. The work area included various communities in West
Germany and West Berlin. From 1980 to 1984, Manfred Golda was a parish
commissary at the Berlin Mission with the main focus on coordinating ecclesial
partnership work with Africa and the Middle East, organizing seminaries,
mission festivals, etc.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11pt">In 1984, Manfred Golda returned to Vienna and until
1996 was a pastor for participants with a focus on the care and counselling of
foreign students and ecumenical cooperation in higher education.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11pt">On 1 September 1996, Manfred Golda was appointed
parish priest of the pastorate of the parish of A. B. Wien-Währing, not
affiliated with the pastoral ministry. Together with Pastor Manfred Schreier,
he has endeavored to ensure that this large parish with kindergarten, school
and after-school careers is well organized, which in recent years has also
meant an enormous challenge for the general refurbishment of the church and
other buildings.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11pt">Pastor Golda was first married to sports teacher
Hannerl Regina. Laubenberger married, from this marriage come the children Martin
Alfred, Astrid Christiane and Florian Rainer.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11pt">Since 2001 he has been married with Dr. theol. Maria
Irene Riebl, an adult educator and psychotherapist.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11pt">The heart of Pastor Golda probably beats in the wide
world, among the young churches of Africa. This is visible in his honorary
offices as chairman of the Mission Council, the Evang. World Mission Working
Group (EAWM), as a longtime member of the board of the Evang. Associations for
student hostels and chairman of the Protestant Higher Education Community, the
executive board of Oikocredit Austria (Ecumenical Development Cooperative), the
EAEZ (Evang Working Group for Development Cooperation) and chair of the synodal
committee for world mission and development cooperation (WEZ).<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11pt">Pastor Golda has been particularly dedicated to the
"missionary pastor" in our church and was assistant at the
inauguration of Ghanaian Rev. Rev. Timothy Annoh on Pentecost Sunday this year.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11pt">The
Evangelical Oberkirchenrat thanks Pastor Mag. Manfred Golda for his dedicated
service in our church, for the efforts of the young students and especially for
the vision that Manfred Golda has brought to our church again and again and
wishes him and his family God's blessing and escort for the future</span> <br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div class="h5"><div>On 9 May 2018, at 00:16, Richard via OE <<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" target="_blank">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="m_-1878635196111212472Apple-interchange-newline"></div></div><div><div><div class="h5"><div style="font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:14px;font-family:Cambria;text-align:center"><b><span style="font-size:14pt">Witness to the Mystery of Life<u></u><u></u></span></b></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:14px;font-family:Cambria;text-align:center"><b><span style="font-size:14pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></b></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:14px;font-family:Cambria"><span style="font-size:14pt">I have a long history of ‘baring my soul’ witnesses to the amazing and unusual things that happen in my life.

So I googled Hannerl Golda.. nothing and then added Vienna. A lot of German text and other odds and ends, kept scrolling down and up popped the following German paragraph. I would of missed it except for the very end of the paragraph it has ICA. I am not sure what it says although when I googled Manfred it said in English he was a consultant/coach <u></u><u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:14px;font-family:Cambria"><span style="font-size:14pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:14px;font-family:Cambria"><b><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(34,34,34)">MANFRED GOLDA.
