The focus of the L4 Seoul Statement is not on dividing issues like the exact limitation of biblical inerrancy but rather about how we read the Scriptures.
L4 deepened my understanding of global perspectives and the greatest priorities for advancing global mission: intergenerational leadership, discipleship, and justice.
The L4 demonstrates that Christianity does not belong to North Americans or Europeans, but to everyone who is made in God’s image, humbly learning God’s Words and following God’s way.
The emphasis on reconciliation, faith in the workplace, and the next generation offers a model for how the Ukrainian church can address its own context.
How does one make an effective Christian presence in the midst of a Europe that, more than asleep to the Gospel, seems comatose or almost dead?
As the church in Germany and in the West in general struggles with secularisation and decline, Lausanne reminded me: the Church is alive and vibrant.
God's intra-Trinitarian love overflowed for us, at the creation of all things, for our salvation, and to accompany the Church in its efforts to bear witness.
The Church in our region is steadily declining, and the age distribution of its members gives little hope of growth. What do we need to change without losing the gospel?
If we are open to hear the voice of the global Church, to receive its help, and to serve it; then Europe still has a key part to play in the evangelisation of the earth.
Christians in Africa are largely still working out what it means to be a Christian and an African at the same time.
The Balkan Christians must navigate the complex dynamics of nationalism while preserving the Gospel's inclusive and transforming message.
What can evangelical voices offer to supplement or correct what ordinary Ukrainians think about their national identity? What special contribution can they make?
Nationalism’s seductive power still today, lies in its ability to offer a primal narrative of unity and identity as well as an operative sense place.
How can or should churches respond to the upsurge of nationalism in general, and in particular the way in which it plays a key-role in populist movements?
So much has changed since the last European Parliament election in 2019, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the influence of nationalism. If anything, it is a bigger issue in 2024 than it was in 2019 or back in 2010.
