According to local media, Ms Lehnert wants to replace the parishes with “Jesus groups”, headed by lay people who gather to pray, to interpret the Bible and to care for each other. Although Lehnert explicitly excludes the presence of priests she wants these groups to celebrate “the eucharist”.
Ms Lehnert's proposals have already been realised unsuccessfully by the German Evangelical Church, which is falling apart even quicker than the German Catholic Church.
