"Word for Sunday" March 2020

Behnken triggered strong reactions with her “Word for Sunday” on Saturday, March 7th, 2020. The cause were their formulations, where "basic values ​​seem to be in danger, we as Christians have to say that out loud" and "We have to storm the parliaments in which neo-fascists sit and let us lapse into paralysis just like the corona virus".

The council chairman of the EKD Heinrich Bedford-Strohm positioned himself as a church representative in a similar way as the pastor with clear words: "It is pathetic what is going on at the Turkish-Greek border at the moment". In addition to numerous supportive words, there were occasional accusations in social networks that she disapproved of democracy and wanted to attack state organs.

Behnken commented on the allegations that, as a European and Christian, she was convinced of democracy and had only appealed to democratic values ​​such as humanity and compassion. The reactions on Facebook and Twitter were "mostly positive". In the history of this Christian broadcast series Wort zum Sonntag , which has existed since 1954, the scope of this debate with regard to the press reactions and the diverse expressions of private opinions is unique.
