Children carried toy lightsabers to church and others came as Darth Vader
Service was arranged to mark the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Event criticised online with some people calling it 'sinful' and 'discraceful'
Church says there are 'parallels' between movies and Christian traditions
A German church has been condemned for being 'sinful' after holding a Star Wars service to celebrate the new film.
Children carried toy lightsabers to the church in Berlin and some of the congregation dressed up as Darth Vader to mark the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The service, on Sunday, was soon criticised on social media with some calling it 'sinful' and 'disgraceful'.
Ulrike Garve, a vicar in training, opened the Protestant service with the words 'The wait is over - the Force has awakened!'
A screen set up next to the altar showed a clip from a Star Wars movie in which Luke Skywalker fights off Darth Vader and declares to The Emperor that he will never turn to the Dark Side.
A man dressed as Jawa character arrives for the service. Local priests used the opportunity to point out parallels between the movie and Christianitywhile using the original film's score as organ accompaniment
