  Evangelical Church in Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Evangelical Church in Germany (German Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland, abbreviated as EKD) is a federation of 23 Lutheran, Reformed and United churches in their respective regions.
The German term evangelisch more accurately corresponds to the broad English term Protestant rather than to the narrower Evangelical, although the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America uses the term in the same way as the German church.

 WordAlone - German Church rejects historic episcopate as sign of unity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The EKD is the largest Protestant church in Europe, comprising the Lutheran and Reformed Churches of Germany.
All future dialogue for the EKD is to be based on the Leuenberger Concordat of 1973, which advocated ecclesial communal fellowship without a stress on visible unity.
The document, which has been adopted by the EKD and is now official church policy, sees Jesus Christ revealed through Word and Sacrament as the sole source for the unity of the church.

EKD: Protestant Church in Germany - - "Profile-based ecumenism": EKD representatives meet with Pope Benedict XVI
In the run-up to the World Youth Day in Cologne and with all of the excitement surrounding the Pope’s visit, representatives of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) were repeatedly asked whether Protestants were envious of such a leader and his potential to mobilize people.
At this first meeting since his pontificate began, representatives of the non-Roman Catholic churches included Rhineland Church President Nikolaus Schneider, President of the EKD Synod, Barbara Rinke, and the Chair of the EKD Council.

 COMMUNITY ORGANIZING AS PRACTICED IN THE UNITED STATES – A DESC

 The Pope in Germany   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
In 1980 the Pope met at Mainz with a number of Protestant bishops-including the leading bishop of the Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland (EKD), Eduard Lohse-who pressed him on the urgency of alleviating ecumenical tensions in the land where the Reformation began and where the population is now almost evenly divided between Protestants and Catholics.
I believe that, at this point, one cannot reasonably have expected the Pope to go further than he did, especially in view of the fact that in 1994 the German Lutheran synod gave only a lukewarm response to the results of the condemnations study.
At Paderborn, however, the presiding bishop of the EKD, Klaus Engelhardt, told the Pope that the Protestant churches no longer hold to the sixteenth-century condemnations of Rome, and he unambiguously declared his support for the 1994 request of the German Catholic bishops conference that Rome declare the condemnations of Reformation doctrine to be obsolete.
