Albert and Helene Schweitzer, German Medical Missionaries

Albert Schweitzer with his wife in 1913. Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) was an Alsatian theologian, organist, philosopher, physician, and medical missionary. He received the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of Reverence for Life, expressed in many ways, but most famously in founding and sustaining the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambar?n?, now in Gabon, west central Africa (then French Equatorial Africa). Schweitzer's passionate quest was to discover a universal ethical philosophy, anchored in a universal reality, and make it directly available to all of humanity
