In the context of the centenary of the outbreak of World War 1, and recognising that “we cannot change the past, but are responsible for how we remember it,” the Conference addressed questions of Church relationships, patriotism and theology as they shape our common life in the Europe of the 21st Century. The leitmotif of this discussion was ‘reconciliation’ as experienced, as desired, and as a motivation for our churches’ engagement in wider society. The Conference was typically rigorous and stimulating. Set in a centre named after a hero of the German resistance to Hitler, rooted in rigorous theological and biblical thinking and conviction, it isn't inevitable that such a conference would challenge comfortable 'truths' about theology, society, history or academic disciplines. But, the participants were doing business on behalf of their churches – not in order to satisfy a theological conversation, but to bring their churches closer together compelling them to see through the lens of another culture and history, their own people and church. This cannot but make churches see differently and with a bit more questioning humility. This online version with the texts of the eighth Theological Conference is jointly released by the Church of England and the EKD. Many of the texts are in English and German. The Co- Chairs thank Elisabeth Frey and Renate Sbeghen for the substantial translation work done. Thanks also go to the Co-Secretaries, OKR Christoph Ernst and the Revd Dr Leslie Nathaniel for their editorial work and the time and energy invested in organising the conference. The Meissen Agreement was signed by the Church of England and the Evangelical Church in Germany and the Federation of Evangelical Churches in the German Democratic Republic in 1991. Under this agreement the Church of England and the EKD mutually acknowledge each other as ‘churches belonging to the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ and truly participating in the apostolic mission of the whole people of God’. They are committed to sharing a ‘common life and mission’ and taking ‘all possible steps to closer fellowship in as many areas of Christian life and witness as possible’ in the context of a common journey towards ‘full, visible unity.’ As part of the implementation of this agreement, the Church of England and the EKD continue official theological conversations in order to ‘encourage the reception of the theological consensus and convergence already achieved and to work to resolve the outstanding differences between us’. The purpose of the conference is to share Anglican and Lutheran/Reformed perspectives on the theme moving our churches on towards closer fellowship and greater unity.

  • The Stone Coffins of Bosham Church
    FROM THE ARCHIVES: THE STONE COFFINS OF BOSHAM CHURCH I have kept to the old spelling of Canute throughout this article, since this was how it was spelt until quite recently, but it is now more usual to spell it ‘Cnut’. Is King Canute’s Daughter buried in Bosham Church? Unfortunately, it is not possible to give a definite answer to this question but I did think that visitors to the church via the website or in person to the church itself, might be interested in the long held tradition that King Canute’s daughter was drowned in the millstream early in the 11 th century, and buried in Bosham church and the subsequent finding of a small stone coffin in front of the chancel arch in 1865. Canute was King of England from 1016-1035 and although we have no written evidence that Canute had a Manor House in Bosham or indeed ever had time to come to Bosham, this tradition has been handed down from generation to generation and the story has gradually evolved over the years from Saxon princess to King Canute’s daughter. There is also the little stone effigy which is on the recessed tomb by the organ in the chancel of the church and which was thought to represent the little princess but carved much later, possibly, in the reign of Edward I (1272-1307), as a suitable memorial to her. The effigy and tomb do not appear to go together. In 1865 when considerable restoration work was being done in the church the Reverend Henry Mitchell, Vicar of Bosham from 1845-1912, decided to take the opportunity to test this long held tradition.

  • The Role of Antisemitism in the Expulsion of Non-Aryan Students, 1933-1945 Béla Bodo
    The Role of Antisemitism in the Expulsion of non-Aryan Students, 1933-1945 Béla Bodo “The goal is achieved! No more Jews at German Universities,” read the headline of the main Nazi student paper, Die Bewegung, in late 1938. The author hailed the students as the vanguard of Nazism at the institutions of higher learning. The student journalist argued that students, rather than professors and academic administrators, had pioneered antisemitism at German universities before 1933. By putting pressure on the authorities to expedite the expulsion of Jews, the journalist concluded, students made an important contribution to the creation of the Nazi university in the Third Reich.1 This contemporary assessment of the role of students and professors stands in sharp contrast to the conclusions of modern historians. The two most important articles written on the expulsion process concentrate almost exclusively on the operation of the Nazi bureaucratic machine and on the fights between various party and state organizations, each trying to aggrandize itself by realizing its own agenda. They do not discuss, however, what happened to Jewish students at the local level during the months after the Nazi takeover in January 1933. Neither do they examine the roles and motives of Gentile students and professors in the expulsion process.2 Beside these articles, there are also a number of local studies that deal in passing with the fate of Jewish students. However, they tend to limit themselves to the description of events, to the listing of administrative measures, and to providing statistical data on the decline of the Jewish student population.3 As far as motivation is concerned, the books on the 1 Die Bewegung, 47 (1938), Bundesarchiv (BA) Koblenz, ZSg 129/152.

  • Two Kingdoms in the Third Reich Transcript
    Two Kingdoms in the Third Reich Transcript Date: Thursday, 9 March 2017 - 1:00PM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall 9 March 2017 Two Kingdoms in the Third Reich Professor Alec Ryrie This is a series of lectures on ‘extreme Christianity’, and it does not get much more extreme than this. You are familiar with Godwin’s Law, also known as the reductio ad Hitlerum: the notion that every argument in the modern world eventually progresses to the point where someone invokes a Nazi comparison, and the whole thing then collapses. There is a reason for that. Thanks to the Nazis, since 1945 Western civilisation has had something which it had not had for at least two centuries before that: an all-but universally accepted reference point for evil. That is important for any attempt to understand our culture, but it is especially important from the point of view of the history of religion in the West. Because defining evil, the whole business of mapping out what morality is, is supposed to be the core business of any religious community. And in the case of Nazism, Europe’s main religious communities plainly failed to do this. The slow realisation of Nazism’s evil was an essentially secular event, and the fact that our public life is now organised around an essentially secular definition of evil seems to me to be a key fact in understanding the history of religion in modern times. Today I want to look at the sorry story of how German’s Christian communities responded to Nazism: a story of collaboration, enthusiastic enabling, and of strictly limited pushback.

  • To a Millennial Kingdom: the Nazi Aryanization of Christianity
    TO A MILLENIAL KINGDOM: THE NAZI ARYANIZATION OF CHRISTIANITY Daniel Lucca Honors Thesis: Department of History University of Colorado Boulder Defense Date: April 5th, 2018 Defense Committee: Primary Advisor: Dr. David Shneer, Department of History Outside Advisor: Dr. Saskia Hintz, Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures Honors Council Representative: Dr. Matthew Gerber, Department of History Dan Lucca To a Millennial Kingdom: The Nazi Aryanization of Christianity One of the most defining characteristics of the Nazi regime was a virulent antisemitism, which manifested itself in the ideology and actions of the Nazi leaders and party. For instance, in his work Mein Kampf (My Struggle), Hitler demonstrated virulent antisemitism by portraying the Jew as a parasitic being that corrupts others. As parasites, Hitler believed that Jews are “people without any true culture, especially their own.”1 This disdain for the Jews manifested itself in many hateful laws and acts. one of the most important being the strategy of Arisierung (Aryanization), which began in 1933. The process of Aryanization, according to Roderick Stackelberg and Sally A. Winkle, largely refers to the process of confiscating and selling off of Jewish property.2 However, Aryanization also encompassed the process of the removal everything that was Jewish or perceived to have Jewish influence from Germany. Besides the confiscation of Jewish property, the process of Aryanization included, but was not limited to: the destruction of Jewish books in book burnings, the exclusion of Jews from participating in national sports teams, and the the removal from Jews from the civil service and professions, the ban on Jews performing German music, and many other laws that seeped into every aspect of German society and culture during the Third Reich.

The Orthodox Betrayal: How German Christians Embraced and Taught Nazism and Sparked a Christian Battle. An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in History. By: William D. Wilson Under the mentorship of Brian K. Feltman Abstract During the years of the Nazi regime in Germany, the government introduced a doctrine known as Gleichschaltung (coordination). Gleichschaltung attempted to force the German people to conform to Nazi ideology. As a result of Gleichschaltung the Deutsche Christens (German Christians) diminished the importance of the Old Testament, rejected the biblical Jesus, and propagated proper Nazi gender roles. This thesis will argue that Deutsche Christen movement became the driving force of Nazi ideology within the Protestant Church and quickly dissented from orthodox Christian theology becoming heretical.
