As in an article by www.braunschweiger-zeitung.de As can be seen, the Parish Lehre-Brunsrode decided against the AfD To take a stand. Parish priest Jonas Stark said that the AfD was poisoning the social climate and trampling on the Christian view of humanity. Therefore, it was important for the church to position itself against the party in terms of content and to contradict its goals.
On Tuesday, June 18, the AfD is planning an event in Lehre, where three members of the Bundestag will hold a speech in the village hall from 6 p.m. Citizen dialogue At the same time, the church community is calling for a counter-demonstration in which representatives from politics, clubs and associations are to take part. The aim is not to give up the field to the right without a fight and to show that Lehre is a colorful and open community, as it says on the community website.
In order to educate the population, parish priest Jonas Stark is planning a discussion session after the service on Sunday, June 16. The renowned Hamburg publicist and lawyer Liane Bednarz will explain why she considers the AfD to be dangerous and does not recommend voting for it.
The decision of the Lehre-Brunsrode parish to actively position itself against the AfD shows that church institutions are also present in the political debate and are raising their voices against parties that they see as a threat to social coexistence. The counter-demonstration and the planned discussion are part of a broad commitment to point out the negative effects of right-wing populist positions and to advocate for an open and tolerant community.
