Talk by Dr. Otto Dibelius, Bishop of Berlin
The Church in the Eastern Zone of Germany, which is predominantly Protestant, has in recent years had to face the challenge of a new religion, the religion of Communism. Dr. Dibelius (whose diocese includes Brandenburg, in the Eastern Zone) explains why he regards Communism as a religion and describes the way in which the Church in Eastern Germany is facing this challenge. He recorded the talk during a recent visit to this country.
