The Evangelical Church in Berlin, Brandenburg and Silesian Upper Lusatia (EKBO) – a full member of the mainline Protestant Evangelical Church of Germany (EKD) – has started the 2020-2021 academic in its 32 schools with a pro-LGBT campaign.
Over 10,000 students will see posters in their school buildings using the Bible verse “Do not be afraid!” as the slogan of the campaign. These words are found in chapters 1 and 2 of the Gospel of Luke, expressed in the angel Gabriel’s announcement of the birth of Jesus Christ to Zechariah, Mary and the shepherds.
But in the pro-LGBT “diversity” campaign launched by the School Foundation of the EKBO, the Bible verse is re-interpreted as a message of sexual and gender inclusivity.
