1989-2009: The GDR's Peaceful Revolution
Posts
About this Blog
This blog was inspired by the Gesegnete Unruhe (Holy Disorder) campaign of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany to mark the 20th anniversary of the peaceful revolution in East Germany. The campaign seeks to remember the events when churches throughout the German Democratic Republic became focal points for protest and dissent, creating "Holy Disorder". This blog is intended to remember and comment on the events of 1989 and their relevance for today. The blog is coordinated by Stephen Brown and Jane Stranz. In 1989, Jane started 12 months in East Germany as a theological student and a student minister. Stephen was working in Brussels as an editor and researcher on a research project about the future of Europe, little knowing that the basis on which the project had been built was about to change radically.
