ABSTRACT

This study aims to present theological issues that were discussed in the German context during the pandemic and to reconstruct the function of the church in the public sphere. For this purpose, the core content of the debate on the ban on face-to-face worship, on the theological analysis of the pandemic, and on the public task of the church were specified. The church must implement the spread of the gospel. The maturity of faith and speaking of God, who is compassionate and supportive, is necessary. The further task of the church is the implementation of charity, which cannot be regarded as a means for social recognition. Its effort could lead to the achievement of the common good and the development of society.
