The German Evangelical Church (EKD) is being accused of racism after banning White children from attending a workshop on being “courageous and strong” during its Church Congress in Hanover on Wednesday. The Church is now being questioned about its commitment to anti-racist and universalist principles.
The “Become Courage and Strong” workshop was only open to Black, indigenous and children of color. However, while ethnic Germans and ethnic Europeans are indigenous to Germany and Europe, the designation did not apply to them, only indigenous people from other continents.
“This offer is aimed exclusively at Black, Indigenous and children of color,” reads the program website.
The Church’s official program featured the seminar as a “protected space where children can sing or beatbox.” The church program for the day states children who attend will “develop strengths and strategies for dealing with experiences of racism.”
The Church is not only being racist towards White children with its program, but the logic of its program is that White people cannot experience racism, a complete contradiction of the universalist principles taught in the Bible.
At the congress, former Chancellor Angela Merkel also delivered a speech about climate and migration on Wednesday.
Workshop on ‘Critical Whiteness’
It did not end there. In fact, there was a workshop on “Critical Whiteness” where only White people were allowed to attend, namely White adults “who are not affected by racism.”
However, there is also a workshop that immigrants are not allowed to participate in called “Critical Whiteness.” There, white adults “who are not affected by racism” are supposed to critically examine their perceived privileges. This also implies that White people are not affected by racism and the only group that needs to address the issue of racism.
What is clear from the reporting of Remix News and others is that racism against White people is alive and well, even from their own government.
In France, White politicians have been forced to resign out of anti-White hatred.
Remix News itself was even suspended from TikTok for showcasing a video that shows extreme anti-White racism, including labeling White people pigs.
The Church features a huge number of workshops on racism, climate change, and workshops “against the right.” There is an “interactive exhibition on anti-Muslim racism” as well as 24 other workshops and events on racism. Another 34 on climate change are featured and 13 in the “fight against the right.”
Meanwhile, Islamic groups continue to slaughter Christians in the Middle East in large numbers, including the ongoing massacre of Christians in Syria, which the European Parliament published a statement on, along with top politicians across the continent. However, what is going on in Syria is just one element of a long and ongoing story of ethnic and religious cleansing in the Middle East, which has seen its share of Christians plummet over the last two centuries, often through violent displacement. Much of this violence is also directed at Christians in Europe, including Church arson attacks and desecration.
However, the Church’s narrative about oppressed Muslims and other minority groups would be shattered by addressing these widespread and highly disturbing developments. Those who write about such subjects even face their books being banned, despite the liberal principles promoted by the West.
However, the evangelical church refuses to address the persecution of Christians with any kind of workshop or event. Often, Muslims and other religious groups and governments are responsible for this persecution, and as Remix News has reported in recent years, there are now a record number of Christians being persecuted.

The racist and anti-White workshop programs come at a time when the Evangelical Church in Germany is losing record numbers of members. In 2023, the Church lost nearly 600,000 people.
The Catholic Church is far from better, with the Church growing more political by the year. Recently, a German priest fired an altar boy and called him a “Nazi” for associating with the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
