We are Christians and we are Germans too. In the Church, Jesus Christ is Lord; and in the State, the Kaiser or Hitler, der Führer, But you have to obey God rather than men. (MARTIN NIEMÖLLER) In Nazi Germany one of the few groups to stand up to Hitler was the Confessing Church. The struggle was both theological and political. James Bentley has been to Germany to talk to some of the survivors of the dramatic conflict between Church and State, and draws out the implications for the present. Taking part:

A series of talks for Lent intended both for the individual listener and for discussion in house groups. Christians who have spent a considerable time in another country tell what they have learned and offer their reflections to the Christians of Britain.
1: From the United Slates of America
Gerald Priestland - now the BBC's Religious Affairs Correspondent and twice Washington Correspondent - believes that the USA is an essentially religious country.
Questions for discussion after the programme:
1. What can Christians in Britain learn from the USA for their national religious life?
2. Is the wealth of American Churches something to be deplored?
3. Is the multiplication of Churches in America ultimately destructive? Introduced by Colin Semper
