Christian President Latzel: Anti -Semitism is always a sin!
The Rheinische President Thorsten Latzel emphasized during the opening service of a three -day study conference in Koblenz that every form of anti -Semitism is sin and is directed against Christians. He explained that Christians and Jews were "siblings in the one family of God" and asked to stand up for the loyalty of God to his people of Israel and the will to salvation for all people. Latzel also referred to the dark history of the Christian churches in dealing with Judaism and emphasized that only after the Schoah did the anti -Judaistic traditions began to begin.
In the context of his speech, he asked to critically reflect on the "presumption and self -overrunation" in the belief. He emphasized that Jesus Christ comes from Israel and spoke out for peace and security for all people in Israel, in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. The study conference of the Evangelical Federation deals with questions of ecumenism and denomination and is located at the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD).
