The Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia ((ドイツ語:Evangelische Kirche Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische Oberlausitz - EKBO)) is a Protestant church body in the German states of Brandenburg, Berlin and a part of Saxony. The seat of the church is in Berlin. It is the most important Protestant denomination in the area. It is a full member of the Evangelical Church in Germany ((ドイツ語:Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland - EKD)), and is a church of the Prussian Union. The leader of the church is bishop Dr. Markus Dröge (2010). The EKBO is one of 22 Lutheran, Reformed, and United churches of the EKD and is itself a United church. The church has around 1,200,000 members (December 2005) in 1,770 parishes. The church is a member of the Union of Evangelical Churches ((ドイツ語:Union Evangelischer Kirchen - UEK)) and the Community of Protestant Churches in Europe. In Berlin and Görlitz the church runs two academies. St. Mary's Church, Berlin, is the church of the bishop of the EKBO with the Berlin Cathedral being under joint supervision of all the member churches of the UEK. == Some theological statements == The theology of the church goes back to Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. Since 1927 the ordination of women has been allowed, and the blessing of same-sex unions has been allowed by the synod but depends on the local presbytery ((ドイツ語:Gemeindekirchenrat)). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Evangelical Church in Berlin, Brandenburg and Silesian Upper Lusatia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
