In Frankfurt, he preached at the American Christ Chapel, in Düsseldorf at the Rheinstadium, and two days later he closed his first German campaign with a service at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Thousands came to see him and hundreds stepped forward at the end of the service to publicly accept Christ as their Savior. Another campaign fol- lowed in 1955. The American preacher then returned to Germany again dur- ing the 1960s, and his work there peaked in 1970 with his EURO 70 campaign.1 Graham’s campaigns in Germany were not foreign spectacles, but rites of passage in German Protestantism.

Being an icon of religious modernization and a return to the traditional at the same time, he became a focal point of self-reflection for German Protes- tants in the 1950s and 1960s. Church leaders, theologians, and laymen used Graham’s campaigns to discuss secular and political challenges and deep social transformations in the religious and secular sphere. Therefore, leading Protes- tant bishops such as Otto Dibelius and Hanns Lilje supported Graham’s cam- paigns.

Im Jahr 1937 publizierten Otto Dibelius und Martin Nie- möller, zwei Heroen des so genannten Kirchenkampfes, eine gemeinsame Schrift unter dem Titel „Wir rufen Deutschland zu Gott“. Ihre hierin geäußerten Ansichten zur Frauenbewe- gung und das bei dieser Gelegenheit von ihnen eher en pas- sant preisgegebene Frauenbild riefen in einigen Kreisen, die sich dem Lager der Bekennenden Kirche (BK) zurechneten, Verwunderung und teilweise Empörung hervor. Die beiden prominenten Führungsmänner der Kirchenopposition hatten unter anderem geschrieben, die Frauenbewegung der unterge- gangenen Weimarer Republik habe die Frauen bedauerlicher- weise dazu verleitet, sich für die Politik zu interessieren, sich in Vereinen zu betätigen und am öffentlichen Leben - sei es an Vorträgen oder Konzerten und dergleichen - teilzunehmen. Auch wurde die unselige Frauenbewegung für den Geburten- rückgang verantwortlich gemacht. Den so zahlreich gewor- denen „Fräulein Doktors“ und den „großen Vereinsdamen“ - gemeint waren damit Prominente wie Gertrud Bäumer oder Marie-Elisabeth Lüders - stellten die führenden Bekenntnis- theologen die ‚gute deutsche Mutter’ gegenüber, die - wenn- gleich weniger gebildet - Kinder gebäre und sie auch ordent- lich erziehe. Letztere sei, meinten die Bekenntnistheologen, die Frau nach dem Willen Gottes.1 1 Otto Dibelius/Martin Niemöller: Wir rufen Deutschland zu Gott, Ber- lin 1937, bes. 103-105.

  • Religion and Socialism in the Long 1960S: from Antithesis to Dialogue in Eastern and Western Europe
    Contemporary European History (2020), 29, 127–138 doi:10.1017/S0960777320000077 INTRODUCTION Religion and Socialism in the Long 1960s: From Antithesis to Dialogue in Eastern and Western Europe Heléna Tóth and Todd H. Weir History Department, Otto-Friedrich-University, Fischstrasse 5/7, 96047 Bamberg, Germany [email protected] One of the most remarkable transformations of European society and politics during the Cold War period was in relations between socialism and religion. Extreme hostility between revolutionary socialism and Christianity had been a structural component of major political conflicts in the trans-war period of 1914 to 1945. With an eye to violence against churches in Mexico, Spain and the Soviet Union, Pope Pius XI had declared in 1937 that ‘for the first time in history we are witnessing a struggle, cold-blooded in purpose and mapped out to the least detail, between man and “all that is called God”’. Upon the German invasion of his native Netherlands in 1940, Europe’s leading ecumenical spokesman Willem Visser ’t Hooft similarly spoke of the Christian struggle against godlessness as ‘a war behind the war’ that had begun ‘long before September 1939 and will certainly go on long after an armistice has been con- cluded’.1 This hostility flowed into the accelerating polarisation of European politics and diplomacy in the immediate post-war period that led to the Cold War.2 Events such as the exchange of letters between US President Harry S. Truman and Pope Pius XII in 1946 confirming the Christian core of Western civilisa- tion or the show trial of Cardinal József Mindszenty in Hungary in 1949 were moments of deep symbolic significance that welded religion to the solidifying political rhetoric.3 As Dianne Kirby writes, ‘for many who lived through the period, the Cold War was one of history’s great religious wars, a global conflict between the god-fearing and the godless’.4 In the 1960s, however, the situation changed dramatically.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Dr. Konrad H. Jarausch Dr. Christopher Browning Dr. Chad Bryant Dr. Lloyd Kramer Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Benjamin Carl Pearson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BENJAMIN CARL PEARSON: Faith and Democracy: Political Transformations at the German Protestant Kirchentag, 1949-1969 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) In the decades following World War II, German Protestants worked to transform their religious tradition. While this tradition had been previously characterized by rigidly hierarchical institutional structures, strong nationalist leanings, and authoritarian political tendencies, the experiences of dictatorship and defeat caused many Protestants to question their earlier beliefs. Motivated by the desire to overcome the burden of the Nazi past and by the opportunity to play a major role in postwar rebuilding efforts, several groups within the churches worked to reform Protestant social and political attitudes. As a result of their efforts, the churches came to play an important role in the ultimate success and stability of West German democracy. This study examines this transformation at the meetings of the German Protestant Kirchentag, one of the largest and most diverse postwar gatherings of Protestant laity. After situating the Kirchentag within the theological and political debates of the immediate postwar years, it focuses on changing understandings of the role of the church in society, the pluralization of Protestant political attitudes, and the shift from national to international self-understandings within the churches.

  • Helmut Gollwitzer Als Theologe Des Dialogs
    Helmut Gollwitzer als Theologe des Dialogs Andreas Pangritz Überarbeitete Fassung eines Gedenkvortrags auf dem „Dies academicus“ der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn am 3. Dezember 2008 Helmut Gollwitzer, der von 1950-1957 an der Universität Bonn und dann bis zu seiner Emeritierung im Jahr 1975 an der Freien Universität Berlin Systematische Theologie lehrte, gehörte zu den einflussreichsten evangelischen Theologen des 20. Jahrhunderts – und scheint doch heute weitgehend vergessen zu sein. Am kommenden 29. Dezember wäre Gollwitzer 100 Jahre alt geworden, – Anlass, an die bleibende und in der gegenwärtigen Weltwirtschaftskrise ganz neue Aktualität seines Theologisierens zu erinnern. In Nachrufen aus Anlass seines Todes im Jahr 1993 wurde Gollwitzer im allgemeinen als ein „streitbarer“ Theologe bezeichnet; diese Charakterisierung, so viel an ihr dran sein mag, verdeckt doch eher den dialogischen Charakter seiner Theologie, die ihn zu einem Brückenbauer in vielerlei Hinsicht werden ließ: zwischen Theologie und Politik, zwischen Christen und Juden, zwischen bekennenden Christen und Marxisten. Sein Genie der Freundschaft bewährte sich nicht zuletzt in Vermittlungsversuchen über die politischen Fronten hinweg zwischen den Regierenden und der aufbegehrenden jungen Generation der sog. „Achtundsechziger“. Wie kaum ein anderer evangelischer Theologe hat Helmut Gollwitzer sich in den 40 Jahren westdeutscher Bundesrepublik als ein politischer, und das hieß für ihn je länger je mehr, ein sozialistisch engagierter Mensch verstanden. Die frühe Mahnung seines Lehrers Karl Barth, wonach ein Christ auf die „äußerste Linke“ gehöre, wurde für ihn schließlich wegweisend. Um so größer war das Erstaunen der Gebildeten unter den Verächtern der Religion, wenn sie wahrnahmen, auf welch scheinbar konservativem lutherisch-theologischen Fundament sein gesellschaftliches Engagement ruhte.

  • The German Evangelical Church and the Nazi State
    NO “SPOKE IN THE WHEEL”: THE GERMAN EVANGELICAL CHURCH AND THE NAZI STATE By HANNAH D’ANNE COMODECA Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science Oklahoma Baptist University Shawnee, OK 2012 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 2014 NO “SPOKE IN THE WHEEL”: THE GERMAN EVANGELICAL CHURCH AND THE NAZI STATE Thesis Approved: Dr. Joseph F. Byrnes Thesis Adviser Dr. Ronald A. Petrin Dr. John te Velde ii Name: HANNAH D’ANNE COMODECA Date of Degree: MAY, 2014 Title of Study: NO “SPOKE IN THE WHEEL’: THE GERMAN EVANGELICAL CHURCH AND THE NAZI STATE Major Field: HISTORY Abstract: This study focuses on the relationship between the German Evangelical Church and the Nazi state from 1933-1945 and the reasons why the Church did not oppose state policies of persecution of the Jews. Through primary sources of sermons, synodal decisions, and memoirs, this study finds that during the years of the Third Reich, the German Evangelical Church retreated into itself. The internal conflicts that some historians have termed “the Church Struggle” distracted the Church from problems in the state. While some individuals within the Church did oppose state policies, the German Evangelical Church, as an institution, only protested when it felt directly threatened by the state. iii There are three possible ways in which the church can act towards the state: in the first place, as has been said, it can ask the state whether its actions are legitimate and in accordance with its character as state, i.e.

  • Religion and Socialism in the Long 1960S: from Antithesis to Dialogue in Eastern and Western Europe
    Contemporary European History (2020), 29, 127–138 doi:10.1017/S0960777320000077 INTRODUCTION Religion and Socialism in the Long 1960s: From Antithesis to Dialogue in Eastern and Western Europe Heléna Tóth and Todd H. Weir History Department, Otto-Friedrich-University, Fischstrasse 5/7, 96047 Bamberg, Germany [email protected] One of the most remarkable transformations of European society and politics during the Cold War period was in relations between socialism and religion. Extreme hostility between revolutionary socialism and Christianity had been a structural component of major political conflicts in the trans-war period of 1914 to 1945. With an eye to violence against churches in Mexico, Spain and the Soviet Union, Pope Pius XI had declared in 1937 that ‘for the first time in history we are witnessing a struggle, cold-blooded in purpose and mapped out to the least detail, between man and “all that is called God”’. Upon the German invasion of his native Netherlands in 1940, Europe’s leading ecumenical spokesman Willem Visser ’t Hooft similarly spoke of the Christian struggle against godlessness as ‘a war behind the war’ that had begun ‘long before September 1939 and will certainly go on long after an armistice has been con- cluded’.1 This hostility flowed into the accelerating polarisation of European politics and diplomacy in the immediate post-war period that led to the Cold War.2 Events such as the exchange of letters between US President Harry S. Truman and Pope Pius XII in 1946 confirming the Christian core of Western civilisa- tion or the show trial of Cardinal József Mindszenty in Hungary in 1949 were moments of deep symbolic significance that welded religion to the solidifying political rhetoric.3 As Dianne Kirby writes, ‘for many who lived through the period, the Cold War was one of history’s great religious wars, a global conflict between the god-fearing and the godless’.4 In the 1960s, however, the situation changed dramatically.
