The German Evangelical Alliance (German: Evangelische Allianz Deutschland (EAD), formerly Deutsche Evangelische Allianz) is a national evangelical alliance in Germany.

Legally, the Evangelical Alliance of Germany (EAD) is organized as a registered association based in Bad Blankenburg, Thuringia. The association forms the umbrella organization for a network of approximately 900 local alliances and 370 organizations and ministries affiliated with the Alliance. Main members are the Union of Evangelical Free Churches (Baptist and Brethren Christian denomination), Federation of Free Evangelical Churches and Evangelischer Gnadauer Gemeinschaftsverband. Denominations of the main protestant church in Germany, the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) are not member of EAD.

The EAD is part of the network of the European Evangelical Alliance and the World Evangelical Alliance. Its regular publication is the quarterly magazine EINS.

History

At present the EAD has affiliated members who are connected to the EAD organisation itself or welfare services which are a part of the EAD.

Before 1990 there were two separate organisations which had existed since the division of Germany. The GDR had the Evangelische Allianz in der DDR and West Germany had the Deutsche Evangelische Allianz e. V., based in Stuttgart.

In the course of German reunification, both organisations also merged. The offices of the Deutschen Evangelische Allianz were in Stuttgart until November 2004. With a tight budget, the organisation moved to Bad Blankenburg.

Today the German EAD is a state-approved organisation (eingetragener Verein or e.V.), with a conference center, recreation home and hotel. It was represented in the Bundestag (German parliament) by Wolfgang Baake as Commissioner of the German EA.

There are 1,200 local churches, free churches or free groups who support the alliance.

Deputies of the Evangelische Allianz meet once a year in Bad Blankenburg for the Alliance Conference (Allianzkonferenz).

The affiliated Institute for the Issue of Islam (Institut für Islamfragen) provides information about Islam from a Christian point of view.
