This class will look at issues in the German Protestant Church beginning with Unification in 1990, shift quickly to the issues extant today, and then consider parallels to the church in the United States today. This class continues the Living U course which started in early March, before the rest of our spring Living U semester was cancelled. In it, we looked at the role of the Protestant church in the 1989 peaceful revolution in East Germany.
