Hanover (dpa) – The Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) has promised the believers of all religions in Ukraine their solidarity. “It has been a week since Russian troops attacked Ukraine and it is with heartfelt pain that we see the suffering and danger to every person in your country increasing by the day.” According to information on Friday, EKD Council Chairwoman Annette Kurschus wrote this to the All-Ukrainian Council of Church and Religious Communities. In addition to Christian churches, it also includes Jewish and Muslim communities.
Kurschus thanked the council for its peace work in the past. “God keep his hand upon you. In the name of Christ we beseech God to use His power to silence the guns.” The EKD announced in Hanover that it supports people in need in Ukraine through its aid organization Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe and the work for refugees at home and abroad.
