CURRICULUM VITAE

Archbishop Horst-Karl Friedrich Block was born in Ruppertsgrün, Bavaria - Germany on 23 October 1936. From 1655 to 1917 his family was living in Russia. The ancestors from his fathers side came from Mecklembourg-Schwerin. After the Reformation they became Lutheran.

In 1796, Paul Ier granted Johann von Block ( Iwan Block ) letters of patent of russian nobility.

Lutherans believe that, in baptism, a person is born into the Kingdom of God and becomes an heir of salvation. It is the beginning of life of faith in which each day our human nature should be drowned through daily repentance; and that day after day a new self should arise to live with God in righteousness and purity forever." (The Small Catechism, by Martin Luther)

The worlds 400 million Protestant Christians can trace their tradition, at least in part, back to Luthers reforming work.

After my consecration as Diocesan Bishop,Free Protestant Episcopal Church-Liberia, I began to work exclusively for the interest of the church in Liberia. October 1972, I had to leave Liberia as "Persona non grata".Therefore my accreditation at the University of Liberia was only from 1965 - 1972 by the Ministry of Education, Liberia.

Tolbert could not escape from the rivalry among Liberia’s leading families. The Tolbert-family being one of the largest in the country, he soon appointed relatives in important public positions.

I could not agree to it. In the mid-1970s several Cabinet members belonged to the Tolbert-clan among whom the Minister of Finance, his brother Steven Tolbert. Another brother was President Pro-Tempore of the Senate, the Major of Monrovia was a cousin etc.

William R. Tolbert, Jr., an ordained Baptist pastor and former President of the Baptist World Alliance, was President Tubman’s modest (‘invisible’) Vice-President for nearly 20 years. He succeeded President Tubman (1944 -1971) on July 23, 1971 after he had died in a London clinic. This was the end to a good time with president W.V.S.Tubman.

Its certainly not a bad idea to strive for the perfect world, as long as you keep in mind that, while your objective most likely wont be obtained, you will be able to make some things better. Amen

In der Familie meines Vaters spielte die Literatur keine große Rolle. Der Urgroßvater - Lutheraner, Nachfahre des aus Mecklenburg -Schwerin stammenden Leibarztes Zar Alexej Michailowitsch Romanov ( ein anderer Vorfahre, der Leibchirug Johann von Block - Iwan Block - wurde unter Paul I. in den russischen Adelsstand erhoben). Verehelicht war mein Ur Ur-Großvater mit der Tochter des Gouverneurs von Nowgorod, Ariadna Alexandrowna Tscherkassowa. Der Vater von Alexander Alexandrowitsch Block, Alexander Lwowitsch Block, war Professor für Staatsrecht an der Warschauer Universität. Er starb am 1. Dezember 1909. Alexander Block (1880 -1921) gilt als der größte moderne Lyriker Rußlands vor der Oktoberrevolution. Als Prophet dieser Revolution und Führer des russischen Symbolismus ist er in die Weltdichtung eingegangen. "Das Schaffen Alexander Blocks bedeutet eine ganze Epoche der Dichtkunst, die Epoche der jüngsten Vergangenheit. Der vorzüglichste Meister des Symbolismus, Block, hat auf die gesamte zeitgenösische Dichtung machtvollen Einfluß ausgeübt." - RIP
