The European Evangelical Alliance (EEA ) is delighted to announce the appointment of an experienced Danish politician to represent Europe's evangelicals to the institutions of the European Union. Tove Videbaek spent the last 7 years as a Member of the Danish National Parliament, after an extensive career in Church and then in media.

Mrs Videbaek will begin work on 1st June as the EEA Brussels Representative. She will seek to help to strengthen the future of European culture, around historically agreed Christian social and ethical values.

The EEA is an Alliance of Europe's evangelicals in 33 countries and is committed to a positive transformational contribution to the welfare of early 21st century Europe. EEA represents a grassroots constituency of ten million evangelical Christians from Ireland to Kazakhstan , Portugal to Russia.

Mrs Videbaek's passion for the welfare of others has been reflected in her work as an MP in Denmark: which reveals a deep commitment to the poor and the disadvantaged. She is married to Mogens, they have two adult children, and two grandchildren.

Videbaek says: "In the EEA, our political realism is driven by a vision of just societies rooted in values that have contributed significantly to the welfare of many peoples for many centuries. As EEA, we are committed to playing our part, alongside many others, in the continuing debate about European identity and culture in the early 21st century. I am very much looking forward to this new role"
