Beatrix von Storch, November 4, 2021, Evangelical Church in Germany

AfD Kompakt, November 4, 2021.

Bedford-Strohm confuses cause and effect if he in fact believes that a lack of “coolness” is the reason for the vanishing members. It is plainly just this desperate attempt to surf the wave of the politically correct Zeitgeist that has alienated the faithful from the Evangelical Church.

Who fraternizes with Fridays for Future, SOS traffickers and other leftist-criminal organizations need not wonder over his own obvious failures. Who feels himself drawn to these substitute religions similarly determines for himself the original. The result of the red-green politicization of the Evangelical Church is an alienation of the faithful from their Church leadership: The core of the faith, the Christian message of the life to come, then primarily takes effect when those affected are far, far removed.

The faithful in the communities feel themselves left in the lurch by Zeitgeist preachers like Bedford-Strohm, for whom their belief in climate change appears more important than that in God.
