From 8 – 11 June 2020 the European Evangelical Alliance (EEA) met for its annual General Assembly. Due to the current COVID-19 crisis the physical meeting had to be cancelled, but in order to facilitate a get-together of EEA friends and members despite the circumstances, an alternative program for an online implementation was designed. For this reason, more than 130 participants from more than 25 countries gathered online for the four online meetings to take a deeper look at the inside of Evangelical entities, reflect together on the impact of European Evangelicals and jointly explore God´s work in today´s Europe.
READ MOREWe started off […] [the General Assembly 2020] looking at Europe and we suggested different ways we could look at Europe. But as Connie reminded us […] [in her bible study on day 3], looking and seeing are not the same thing. As the spies entered the promised land [in Numbers 13:21], it wasn´t that they saw different things; they saw things differently. And as we all know the familiar text from john 519, Jesus said, “The Son of Man does only what he sees the Father doing”. So, we started off talking about looking and I want us to finish off talking about seeing.
READ MOREFor the first of EEA’s monthly online coffee lounges, we invited Yemi Adedeji & Steve Clifford to share. Pastor Yemi is the director of the One People Commission of Evangelical Alliance (EA) UK. Steve Clifford is the former general director of EA UK.
Yemi shared his personal experiences of racism, the constant micro-assaults, the invalidation, the acts which exclude, things that white people may not even be conscious of.
The [Im]possible Dream is essential reading for such a time as this
In her popular title, Why I’m no longer talking to white people about race, Reni Eddo-Lodge says that the UK is still profoundly uncomfortable with race. Most days we see this discomfort – whether on the terraces at football matches, at film and music award ceremonies in the entertainment industry, or on the street, in the workplace, and on social media platforms. And despite our longing as Christians that the church should be a new society, we experience a similar discomfort within the Christian community.
‘This book is quite different from anything I have read about education’. So says one of the endorsements on the back cover, and I’d have to agree. What on Earth could a book called ‘To Infinity and Turn Left’ have to do with purpose for Christians in education? The fact is though, there is very little written for Christian teachers that takes them to the spiritual heart of their ministry. This book is a resounding exception.
READ MOREThe next Women in Leadership 2021 will take place from 26 – 29 May 2021 in Oradea/West-Romania (close to the Hungarian border). Under the theme “Windows of Opportunity”, the network Women in Leadership invites women leaders from all across Europe to give a glimpse into their world and teach from their experience.
READ MOREThe Evangelical Alliance was originally created in London in 1846. A number of founding members were representing European countries. The European Evangelical Alliance (EEA) was founded in 1951. The EEA exists to foster unity and evangelical identity and provide a voice and platform to 23 million European evangelical Christians. The mission of the EEA is to CONNECT for com-mon purpose, EQUIP for integral mission and REPRESENT with a united voice.
