Why We’re Still Atheists: Secularism in the Former East Germany Thirty-Five Years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall

A talk with Katja Hoyer on secularism in the former East Germany thirty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Join us on 18 November 2024 at Wycliffe Hall to hear from Katja Hoyer, a German historian and journalist, on her article for Plough, “Why We’re Still Atheists.” Hoyer examines why the established church failed to revive after the fall of the Berlin Wall and poses the question: Is the experience of the church in East Germany being repeated in slow motion across the West today?
