Highly esteemed ladies and gentlemen, Here is a suspenseful trend worthy of observation. More and more, representatives in church circles are calling on fellowships in Germany to employ themselves more actively against extreme rightwing tendencies. On February 12 in Dresden, there is to be a celebratory discussion called “Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Kirche für Demokratie — gegen Rechtsextremismus” (Federal Workgroup of the Church for Democracy — Against Rightwing Extremism) that was launched by a large number of networks and initiatives already existing, as well as by church representatives and others of prominince.
(Translation from Anders Denken of an open letter from Barbara M. to church representatives in Germany published on German PI)
When reading the first pages of the brochure “Nächstenliebe verlangt” (Wanted: Neighborly Love), one can understand just where the wind is blowing — namely completely leftward — and this is arousing concern; it is even antagonistic to democracy. This composition is embellished with the words “neibhborly love” and rants along in noble words originating from right of center. The conclusion, word for word without criticism and thought, is that “danger is on the increase, coming from parties or groups classified as left wing;” left wing crimes are being tried on a lower level and are therefore being trivialized. Not only is that unchristian-like, but it is dangerous in the highest degree. Also, it is an offense against the basis of equality set up in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany, for we see here:
Antifascists are causing whole parts of cities to fold up; police are attacked with projectiles and injured; police vehicles are set on fire by leftwing individuals working alone; arson is being committed. The list of violent acts from “the left” goes on and on. Also, the fact is that radical Islamists are infiltrating large cities, and that bands of young foreigners are carrying out their mischief. Apparently these facts have no meaning in the eyes of leftist Church representatives; their eyes are only focused on the “right.” Similar crimes of the so-called “right” can demonstrably be categorized as only exceptional cases.
The intellectual sensibilities in our land reveal themselves in such a way, that the word “conservative” is enough to activate well-known reflexes and to shove people for no reason into the corner of the radical right. It is also shameful for a so-called democracy, when a part of the German population that expresses themselves only verbally against the overabundance of foreigners in our land suddenly ends up having the stamp of “right extremist” pressed upon them. Befitting this very subject is the example of journalist Helmut Matthies, who recently received the Gerhard Löwenthal prize. Matthies was defamed and even categorized as extreme right wing, only because the prize of a conservative weekly newspaper was conferred upon him.
You [the taxpayer] also are among the ranks fighting effectively for the media and “correct politics” in the “battle against the right,” which year after year is being financed by us taxpayers to initiate the actions mentioned above and other brain wrenching actions like them. In case you might not know how much the horrendous sums should be: in the last three years more than 100 million Euros of tax money have been squandered by the federal government for the “battle against right extremism.” This money was paid out for measures to “strengthen diversity, tolerance and democracy,” and for the building up of consulting networks and projects against “right wing extremism,” etc.
No wonder then, that only the political pressure is growing, but the churches are becoming ever more empty, because critical citizens don’t want bolshevik-antifascist values in the worship service — they want equalization and equal treatment also with it, as well as the right and left spectrums, for there is no “good” extremism.
The unblessed cheap propaganda tricks on the part of left wing church representatives is scandalous, and this is steering the church institution into dangerous waters. “Handouts” are to be understood as conciliatory actions, and not as a brochure embellished with sappy expressions that end up amounting to an antagonistic campaign of incitement. Also, The same naturally applies to actions and initiatives that are targeted in the same direction.
In the high regard due you,
Barbara M.
PS: For the reasons mentioned before, I also have already withdrawn from the church institution, and since then I invest time and money more preferably for sensible projects and actions, for example, like animal protection.

Excelent and insightful article, but so sad; how can the Curch itself participate so energetically in its own distruction!

Right wing here means any who oppose the Islamisation of Europe.
The church in the UK anyway, has been completely infiltrated by Leftists, who in the main, do not believe in God. in fact I know Anglican vicars who not believe in the resurrection – the central tenet of Christianity ie Jesus conquers death on the cross.
