    Newsletter | Welcome to June!0

    Welcome to June! This month we leave Spring behind and enter Summer. It has been a long and challenging year, and summer has it’s own set of challenges. While some things get quieter, other things get busier – camps, kid’s programs, less human resources in church (logistic challenges). It is also the time that we usually try and fit in our holiday, to get a break from the hectic pace of the other seasons.

  • At the Crossroads

    At the Crossroads0

    As Easter approaches, we find ourselves—personally, spiritually, and collectively—standing at a crossroads. Lent invites us to pause, to look honestly at our lives, and to turn again toward God. This season of reflection meets a world marked by deep uncertainty. Wars continue to destroy communities and uproot millions. Political tensions reshape societies. Climate change confronts us with fires, floods, and fragile futures.

    The EEA exists to foster unity and evangelical identity and provide a voice and platform to evangelical Christians. Seeking empowerment by the Holy Spirit, it extends the Kingdom of God by proclamation of the Gospel to all nations and by Christ-centred transformation within society.

    We aim to think globally and act locally, nationally and regionally. Our goal is to help one another to be contemporary Christian communities which both transform and redeem our wider communities. The EEA encourages national Alliances to serve one another and seeks to develop national Evangelical Alliances where they do not yet exist.

  • From Vulnerability to Strength

    From Vulnerability to Strength0

    There are two things I have struggled with for as long as I can remember: I never felt fully at home anywhere, and I was never sure I was good enough.
    I was born the early 1980s in Georgia into a mixed Georgian-Ukrainian family. Living through the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the rise of nationalist discourse, I was never fully accepted as “purely Georgian.” “Georgia for Georgians” was the driving motto of society. Already in my school years, I would hear from classmates: “Go away, you Russian”—a pejorative at the time. Some teachers would crush my enthusiasm for learning by saying, “You will never think and write like real Georgians.” I remember feeling ashamed of my background, of my mother, and wishing she could be like “all the other moms” at school’s parents meetings.

    Echoes from Stuttgart: A Call to Fervent Faith in Pressured Times0

    As the leaves turned golden this October, I found myself reflecting on a moment etched into the soul of my hometown Stuttgart, in the south of Germany. 80 years ago, just months after the end of World War 2, the city where I was born and where I encountered the radical grace of Jesus Christ, was witness to a rarely seen and thus historically significant public church statement: the Stuttgart Declaration of Guilt, proclaimed on 18-19 October 1945. Issued by the Council of the Protestant Church in Germany to an ecumenical delegation, the declaration remains a beacon of humble reckoning up to today.

  • Hope under Pressure

    Hope under Pressure0

    Europe feels tense. Russia is testing NATO and the fear of war on our continent is no longer an abstract scenario but a daily news item. At the same time, internal polarisation is increasing. Right-wing extremism and violence are becoming bolder—as seen in the riots in The Hague on Saturday, 22 September. The combination of external threats and internal divisions weighs heavily on the hearts of many Europeans. For many, the word “hope” seems fragile, even naïve.
