Concept history, usage

The term was used, among other things, in the first works of Friedrich Rittelmeyer , one of the founders of the " Christian Community ", which is closely related to anthroposophy .

Theologically, "Tatist Christianity" includes the call to follow Jesus and to take the actions and traditions of the historical Jesus as an example for everyday life. Tatch Christianity can be lived in helping other people, regardless of the religious background or with the intention of converting. The term is often seen as a distinction to a missionary-prayer-oriented approach to the Christian faith.

The term has a long tradition in Christian Boy Scout circles . It is associated with the attitude and the claim of Christian scouts to put Christian ethical values ​​into practice (according to Gustav Werner : “What does not become an act has no value”).
