Description
Summary:The small free church of episcopal Methodists in Germany established extensive contacts during the 1920s with the mother church in the United States. Theologically they were not dissimilar to the established Protestant churches, but politically they were more likely to adopt a positive attitude towards the Weimar Republic and the democratic system, which was undoubtedly due to the American influences. Particularly notable was their hostile stance towards Nazism, especially before 1933. On the other hand, German Methodists also displayed prejudices, such as antisemitism and anti-catholicism, which may have also been influenced by their international connections.
