Party Of Bible-abiding Christians
The Party of Bible-abiding Christians (german: Partei Bibeltreuer Christen, PBC) was a conservative evangelical minor right-wing political party in Germany. It was founded in 1989 during a convent of the Federation of Pentecostal Churches to serve as political arm of the Christian right in Germany. It was against same-sex marriage and legality of abortion. It supported a reference to God in the European Constitution and it strongly supported Israel. In March 2015, the PBC merged with the Party for Labour, Environment and Family (AUF) into the Alliance C – Christians for Germany. Most members were from Württemberg or Saxony and were members or sympathizers of what Germans call "Freikirche" (Free Church), i.e., Protestants from Pentecostal and Charismatic sects, which are not affiliated with the large Lutheran Evangelical Church in Germany. The party's success, however, was very limited on the federal and state levels of government because it never reached the "5% hurdle" of vot ...
