"Chancellor Favors God Reference in EU Constitution
Germany’s chancellor favors a reference to God in the European Union Constitution, she indicated at the end of May. “We live in a world in which we want to understand and communicate with other religions and cultures,” EUobserver.com quoted Angela Merkel as saying (May 26).

“This includes knowing your roots and being aware of them, which is why God and the Christian belief should be included into the EU constitution, she indicated. … It is the first time Berlin has spoken out in favor of a Christian reference in the EU constitution and could potentially reopen one of the most bitter debates surrounding the drawing up of the document four years ago” (ibid., emphasis ours)."
