Church in Baden-Württemberg celebrates "Headbangers' Services"
"Heavy metal makes me burst with life"
At the "Headbangers' Church," music fans celebrate worship in robes and to loud metal music. Matthias Fuchs, pastoral assistant of the Catholic parish of Bruchsal-Michaelsberg, believes this fulfills the message of Jesus.
DOMRADIO.DE: Shrill guitars, heavy metal, and rock in church - that's the concept of the Headbangers' Church. Why do you think rock and church go well together?
Matthias Fuchs (Pastoral Assistant in the Bruchsal-Michaelsberg Parish): For me, it's quite simple: Jesus said he came to bring life in abundance. That's always when life is in full swing and we humans get a glimpse of this abundant life and feel that he's on board. I experience exactly that in the music and when we celebrate worship together. That's why it fits together quite well for me.
