Abstract

This article surveys recent developments concerning religious education in the various states of what used to be East Germany. It discusses relations between church‐based education and the emerging state religious education in the former Communist schools, the choice between religious education and moral education in the state schools, and the possibility of development from a confessional approach towards one in which pluralism would be more fully recognised. ‘Church education’ (Christenlehre) in this context refers specifically to a form of Christian education developed by churches in the former GDR.
