- Abstract
This article summarises a number of presentations on Evangelical Free Churches in the GDR that were given at a conference under the same name at the Evangelical Academy in Thuringia in 2014. When considering the Moravian Church, the United Methodist Church, the Union of Evangelical Free Church Congregations in Germany (Baptists) as well as the Seventh Day Adventists in the GDR, there was consistent reference to greater and lesser amounts of adaptation to the requirements of the state. Building on these findings, this article encourages further methodical analysis of the relationship between the state and the Free Churches, potentially including a closer investigation of everyday life, motives and the Free Church’s individuality, together with that of their members, under the SED dictatorship.
