CHRISTIAN WITNESS IN MULTIRELIGIOUS WORLD
- CHURCH
- November 1, 2018
In the second half of 2022, the overarching communication theme for the European Evangelical Alliance will be “Diaspora Churches.” The church landscape in Europe is increasingly characterised by diaspora groups. Church communities in majority societies in different European countries could benefit in many ways from the diversity that diaspora groups contribute to the respective domestic society and church landscape. In the coming months, we would like to create a platform for increased engagement with minority churches and listen to their stories to better understand how we can support them and learn from each other. We are very pleased that Pastor Tillarh Mukasa of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Solution Centre in Stockholm, Sweden has agreed to answer some of our questions.

READ MOREOver the last few years, across Europe we have seen several attacks on churches and priests. And just recently, the offices of the Swiss Evangelical Alliance were adorned with graffiti protesting the SEA’s position on the right to life in Switzerland. Most of these incidents don’t make headlines so there might be examples of violence against religious buildings and communities in your neighbourhood as well.
