Frankfurt (dpa) - Green Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock describes herself as “not entirely religious”.
Nevertheless, she goes to church every now and then, she said on Saturday at the Ecumenical Church Congress in Frankfurt.
Baerbock pointed out in a discussion that religion and the church had emphasized responsibility for creation for many centuries.
Literally, Baerbock said: “Even if I am not entirely a believer myself, but go to church more often for precisely this reason: Because as a community you can create more together, because you have an understanding of the fundamental values on which we actually stand - that of charity, but also that of responsibility. "
Because of Corona, the discussion was recorded without an audience.
The Kirchentag, which runs until Sunday, is largely digital.
