This essay deals with Friedrich Schleiermacher’s readings on ecclesiastical geography and statistics (which have been be published for the first time in 2005 as volume II/16 of the Kritische Gesamtausgabe). For Schleiermacher the ecclesiastical statistics were the last part of historical theology; he developped this subject to describe the present state of the churches in the whole world, especially their life and culture, their constitutions, and their relations
with states and goverments. Though Schleiermacher’s statistics had some influence on
comparative symbolics and the study of denominations as well as on Practical Theology,
they could not be established as one discipline among the other theological disciplines.
This article publishes the minutes of a conference held on February 26th, 1934 by
prominent members of the German Lutheran churches. August Marahrens, Ernst Sommerlath,
Werner Elert, Paul Fleisch, and others are discussing how to maintain the Lutheran
position on conditions of the Third Reich and the Reichskirche.
