The "Confessing Church" was a movement within the Protestant Church in Germany during the 1930s. It emerged in response to the increasing influence of the Nazi Party on religious institutions. The movement aimed to uphold traditional Christian beliefs and resist the state’s attempts to control the church. Members of the Confessing Church opposed the German Christian movement, which sought to align Christianity with Nazi ideology. Prominent figures, such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, played significant roles in this resistance. The Confessing Church sought to maintain the integrity of the Christian faith against political interference.
