The survey on the affairs of the continental churches (May 1934) discusses the situation of the Protestant Churches in Germany and their position towards the government. It highlights a particular development - the elections by Church members on parish councils, which would elect the National Synod. These elections were diluted by a rise in enrollment, with new members voting mostly for German Christians, the church supported by the government. The survey also provides an overview of the most prominent churches and movements.
