The Relationship between Protestant Church and State in the 1980's German Democratic Republic

在本研究中，我们研究了以下几点，并得到了一些有用的结果。这必将有助于这一领域的基础研究。对东德新教教会（Landeskirche）与国家的历史关系的分析表明，两者之间的意识形态和神学斗争，特别是如何定义“社会主义教会”。我们展示了前东德不为人知的一面，那里是一个充斥着告密者的可怕社会。新教教会内部也有许多秘密警察的合作者。作为“社会变革的助产士”，新教在东德发挥了重要作用。然而，人们知道，自1992年春天以来，教会的行政当局一直与国家安全局（秘密警察）保持着实际的和政治上的联系，尽管它的行动只是为了教会和人类的事务。东德新教不仅深切关注德国统一后的局势，而且对德国统一后的局势产生了重大影响。其中之一是德意志新教在统一后的变化趋势。我们可以说，统一后的德国又回到了一个强大的新教国家。看到东德新教政教斗争的历史，每个人都在为自己的身份而斗争，西方传统上非常重要的政教关系问题再次出现在当代欧洲世界。这里还包括在后现代世界中探索这两种关系的答案。（前南斯拉夫的民族、宗教、政治冲突）

In this study we investigated the follwoing points and got some usefull results. It would be sure to contribute to a basic study of this field.1. The analysis of the historical relationship between Protestant Church (Landeskirche) and State in the East Germany showed that the ideological and theological struggle between them was especially how "church in socialism" should be defined.2. We maked clear the unpainted face of the ex-East Germany where was a terrible society of informers. There was many cooperrators to the secret police inside of the Protestant Church, too.3. As "the midwife of the social changes" the Protestant Church in the East Germany playd a great important role. However, it became known that since the spring 1992 the administration of the church had kept the actual and political contact with the National Security Service (the secret police), though its pouprse was only for the matters of the church and the humanity.4. The Protestant Church in the East Germany was not only deeply concerned in the situation which produced the unified Germany, but had big influences on the situation which the unified Germany produced. One of them is the changing tendency of the German Protestantism in the unified Germany. We can say the unified Germany have just returnd to a strong protestant nation again.5. Getting excited at the history of the struggle between Protestant Church and State inthe East Germany, in which each one for their own identity struggled, traditionally the very important problem of the relationship between church and state in the West again has appeared in the contemporary european world. Here includes also groping for an answer to both relationship in the postmodern world. (national, religious, political conflicts in the ex-Yugoslavia)
