[edit] Christianity
- Germany’s rapid spiritual decline might be slowing: there is increased enthusiasm among young people for spiritual things and evangelical and charismatic churches are growing. Germany’s wealth, power and strategic location in the EU and Europe could be of great value for the Kingdom of God. For this, a strong, courageous leadership based on Christian values is needed.
- The post-war exodus from organized Christianity accelerated during the last decades of the 20th Century. This is worst in the old GDR (East Germany) where 75% are unchurched. By 2000 only 5% of the Protestant mainlain church membership and 18% of the Catholics were active participants in church life. Overall only 3% of German men are actively involved. During the 1990s between 300,000 and 600,000 people annually opted out of paying church tax with serious impact on the income of the mainlain churches. Germany needs a change as radical as Luther’s Reformation nearly 500 years ago. Ask God for this.
