Bishop Margot Kaessmann was pulled over after driving through a red light in Hannover city centre. The lady bishop leads Germany's Protestant Church. The reason why she was pulled over made the news headlines. What is most important is her message.
'Margot Kaessmann became the first woman to lead the 25 million members of Germany's Protestant churches in October 2009 after the majority of the synod voted in her favour.
The bishop has proposed a radical reform for the Evangelische Kirche Deutschland (EKD), which suffers from shrinking congregations and revenues.
In addition to streamlining the clergy, she plans to increase the church’s profile and improve strained relations with Catholics.
Mrs Kaessmann is known as an outspoken, tolerant and humorous leader.
She once said: 'Crabby Christians are a contradiction in themselves.'
She has called for Germany to withdraw its troops in Afghanistan, calling the military action there 'unjustified'.
The mother of four was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, but has made a full recovery.
Spiritual sisters in Germany and worldwide, we are in 2012 and still there are troops in Afghanistan. The boys are not listening. It is time for women to raise their voice now. What we need to no longer ignore, global peace is overdue. Stop these wars NOW!
This is the conquerors cross. In Christ NIKa = Victory.
Christ did not conquer this world with bloodshed. It seems some people have forgotten the commandments given by God and one rule is Do Not Kill anyone! No man has the right to rule this world - God's Word was given in history, today as in history. If you have any respect for the higher power, God is the Ruler of the Universe.
Peace love and best wishes
