The Swastika and the Cross

Overview

The conflict between church and state dominates much of the 2,000 years of Church history. But nowhere do we see this demonstrated as clearly as in Germany, where in the 16th century, Martin Luther sparked the Reformation, but in the 20th century, the same country forced the world to grapple with the horrors of Hitler’s Germany. It is often said that history repeats itself. As you watch the vignettes in this film, consider what lessons we can learn from the past to avoid making the same mistakes?
