Just watched it (WW2 Germany) and afterwards researched what was called the Confessional Church.
Things the Germans did that MAY SOUND familiar.......
Jus sayin, found it interesting.
Things the Germans did that MAY SOUND familiar.......
Weimar Germany
In the aftermath of World War I with its political and social turmoil, the regional churches lost their secular rulers. With revolutionary fervor in the air, the conservative church leaders had to contend with socialists (Social Democrats (SPD) and Independent Social Democrats (USPD)), who mostly held to disestablishmentarianism.[7] When Adolph Hoffmann, a strident secularist,[8] was appointed Prussian Minister of Education and Public Worship in November 1918 by the USPD, he attempted to implement a number of plans,[9] which included:- cutting government subsidies for the church
- confiscation of church property
- abolition of theology as a course of study in universities
- banning school prayer
- banning compulsory religious instruction in schools
- prohibiting schools from requiring attendance at worship services
Jus sayin, found it interesting.
