    Paris Olympics opening ceremony: how did French Evangelicals react?

    When Christians watched the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games this summer, what did they think? Some were horrified at what they saw as a disgraceful parody of the Last Supper. Others raised their eyebrows at much of the distasteful content of that evening and just breathed a sigh of relief when the beautiful balloon cauldron appeared.

    The fifth Mark of Mission: To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation & sustain and renew the life of the earth

    A few weeks ago, I sat as an NGO observer on the balcony in the General Assembly Hall at the UN headquarters in New York and watched the opening event of the UN Summit of the Future with excitement. In view of the numerous challenges in the world – wars and conflicts, fear of further global pandemics, persistently high levels of poverty, widespread hunger, lack of prospects for the younger generation, challenges posed by new technologies and artificial intelligence – UN Secretary-General António Guterres had convened a special world summit in the hope of providing new impetus for better and deeper cooperation in the world.

    Friends of A Rocha in Croatia is a group of enthusiasts with a common concern for the environment. We are united by our Christian faith that motivates us to care for all that God has created. Particularly in Croatia, we realized that many people treat nature quite carelessly and awareness of environmental problems is weak. Even less awareness for the suffering of creation is found among church goers and Christians across the country.

    Season of Creation 2024 – Address at an Evening Service

    Creation speaks to us if we are open to listen. Psalm 148 has a creation choir, made up of rocks and weather and animals and last of all humans. We are simply another voice in the choir of creation.
    At the start of Paul’s letter to the Romans he writes that God’s will can be read in creation for all people just as it was written in the law for the Jews. This is why Thomas Aquinas called creation the second book of God. And I think part of what the threads of creation exhibition is doing is capturing that voice of creation.

Hope under Pressure

  • Hope under Pressure
    Hope under Pressure

    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.

    Editorial – The power of relationships in times of hope under pressure

    When I think of relationships, I first think about the first one we read about in the Bible. The relationship between the Godhead. “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…” Genesis 1:26. This relationship is followed quickly by a second relationship in Genesis 2:18, “The LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’

    According to the latest Gallup study – a large-scale, ongoing survey that tracks public opinion and well-being across the globe – the greatest need people express today is hope.
    Hope is the bridge between present and future. People often feel anxious when they worry about what lies ahead. But hope gives us a different perspective.

    The Miracle of Hope: A Gift for Ukraine

    Alexander Pope’s line still speaks across the centuries, especially in times like ours—marked by war, upheaval, and deep uncertainty. The truth of it is being tested in Ukraine more than anywhere else in Europe today. What is it that causes Ukrainians—bombed, displaced, bereaved—to continue believing, rebuilding, resisting, and praying? How can hope still survive such devastation?

    Hope under Pressure – the Ukrainian perspective

    Despite the daily threat of shelling, the Kherson Pentecostal Church had a water baptism on the first Sunday of August for those willing proclaim their faith publicly and to enter into a covenant with the Lord. It was not possible to use the Dnipro River, as it was before the war. The ceremony took place in a specially equipped, festively decorated pool located in a churchyard of Kherson safer district.

    Hope under pressure – Prayer Perspective

    When I found a sailboat at my disposal as a teenage boy, I found no greater pleasure in it than to fight alone with the element of wind and water in very rough weather.  I really enjoyed sailing as close to the wind as possible.  When there was a great gust of wind, it sometimes happened that my boat capsized and I had to try to get the boat back up.

    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.
