The German Evangelical Alliance (EAD) has affirmed that it is “socially engaged, but politically independent” in a newly released paper, amidst political turbulence in the nation.
Following the rise of Alternative for Germany (AfD), considered by many to be a far-right party, which some polling suggests may be aided by many Protestant voters, the EAD has released a document detailing its position on how Christians, and the Alliance specifically, should engage with politics in Germany.
The paper, titled “In Responsibility before God and Man – Politics, Christian Faith and the Evangelical Alliance”, has been released following the EAD’s convention in Bad Blankenburg. Produced by 60 leaders associated within the Alliance, it includes a Christian theological framework when approaching politics, as well as a “common public base position” and a “toolbox for social dialogue”.
