[Right in the middle instead of on the sidelines! On the role of the Protestant Church in an increasingly polarised society]
The public role of the church needs to be rethought! Based on the current discussion about so-called public theology, the authors question the traditional image of the church as the guardian of morality, human dignity and mercy. This understanding is not suitable for adequately describing the role of the church in the modern constitutional state. Instead of a church as a moral agency, the authors advocate a public Protestantism that supports constructive, factual and controversial social debates, actively promotes the common good and strengthens trust in the institutions of the modern constitutional state as their partner.
