German Evangelical Church Assembly

The biennial five-day convention, the main mission of the organisation, was founded in 1949 by laypeople, with the intention of strengthening the democratic culture, following Nazi rule and the Second World War. ==Description==

The German Protestant Church Assembly sees itself as a free movement of people brought together by their Christian faith and engagement in the future of the Protestant Church and wider society. The assembly partakes in bible study, lectures, and discussions, and also hosts concerts. The five-day Church Assembly festival, or convention, takes place in a different German city every two years. ==Namesake==

Between 1848 and 1872 conventions of Protestant clergy were held under the same German name as they are nowadays: Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag. For a description, see the Evangelical Church Conference. ==References==
