CHURCH SETS AUTOBAHN SPEED LIMIT FOR CLERGY​

​

  • National Post
  • 17 Nov 2022

Priests and other officials in Germany’s Protestant church have been banned from speeding down the autobahn to protect the planet. “We consider it necessary for church functionaries to observe a speed limit of 100 kilometres per hour on the autobahn ... to do justice to the church’s mission to care for God’s creation,” the German Evangelical Council (EKD) decreed at its synod. Germany’s autobahns are among the few roads in the world that have no speed limit. The EKD said the restrictions would “noticeably reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” But the decree has not gone down well with some officials. “I cannot support this inappropriate resolution,” said Sabine Kropf-brandau, a church provost in Hesse. Other priests have said going so slowly will force other drivers into dangerous passing attempts.
 
Looks like Mickey is safe - unless he's recently become a "church functionary" in the German Evangelical Church!
 
"Other priests have said going so slowly will force other drivers into dangerous passing attempts."

Yeah, some clergy do tend to move a little slowly for some preferences... 😉

Actually, the Episcopal and Evangelical Lutheran Churches are in full communion, where either clergy can officiate in the other's liturgies. So, I guess I could "function" there. (At least as much as I can "function" at all these days!)
