Adolf Hitler declared war on Christianity when he silenced the
Catholic Church with a diplomatic treaty and arranged for a Nazi
Army chaplain to become supreme bishop over the Protestants of
Germany. The "Confessing Church" resisted. Pastors were muzzled,
put under house arrest, jailed, and held for years in concentration
camps. Thousands were drafted and sent to the war to die, while
others were murdered outright. The result was a lack of
"man"-power. Women stepped in. Pastors' wives replaced their absent
husbands in the pulpits, and Theologinnen--theologically trained
women--preached and assumed administration of the orphaned
parishes. Women fought to save their civil rights, and freedoms of
speech, assembly, press, and religion. Some went to jail. Some
died. A social and theological revolution thus erupted when women
stood by the side of men in leadership positions in the church.
