German churches unable to maintain their buildings



The Christian Telegraph reports:

. . . about six thousand Christian churches in Germany are financially unable to maintain their church buildings, Christian Telegraph reports.

This number represents about 15% of all Catholic and Protestant churches in the country. Among the main reasons for the insolvency of so many churches are lowered attendance rates and the reduction of church taxes, government monies earmarked for distribution to churches, in Germany.
