Violence against religious communities is increasing a challenge for believers in Germany. Jewish communities are particularly affected, but also Christian congregations face rising levels of vandalism and crime. The Conference of European Churches (CEC), which is part of the EU funded Safer and Stronger Communities in Europe (SASCE) project, now held an inter-denominational training for faith leaders to address the issue. It was part of the Annual Assembly of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Christlicher Kirchen in Deutschland (ACK), Germany’s national church council, on 14 September 2022.
