German Protestant Church Assembly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the conventions held since 1949. For the homonymous conventions held between 1848 and 1872, see Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag.

The German Protestant Church Assembly (German Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag, DEKT) is an assembly of lay members of the Protestant Church in Germany, that organises biennial events of faith, culture and political discussion.

History

The biennial five-day convention, the main mission of the organisation, was founded in 1949 by laypeople, with the intention of strengthening the democratic culture, following Nazi rule and the Second World War.[1]

During the 1970s and 1980s, the Church Assembly was strongly affected by the peace movement and became a key platform for Christian pacifism.[2]

Description

The German Protestant Church Assembly sees itself as a free movement of people brought together by their Christian faith and engagement in the future of the Protestant Church and wider society. The assembly partakes in bible study, lectures, and discussions, and also hosts concerts.[citation needed]

The five-day Church Assembly festival, or convention, takes place in a different German city every two years.[1] This is the assembly's main mission. These events bring together around 100,000 visitors, who participate for the whole period. It has achieved a high importance, as can be seen by many attending politicians, including the chancellor and federal president; Angela Merkel has been a frequent guest to the assembly. The media impact, while the Church Assembly is held, is also considerable.

In 2015, the convention was held in Stuttgart.[1]

Namesake

Between 1848 and 1872 conventions of Protestant clergy were held under the same German name as they are nowadays: Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag. For a description, see the Evangelical Church Conference.
