True comfort, the comfort that reaches the heart, cannot be separated from the person and work of Jesus Christ.

With no visitors allowed, we found ourselves ‘being church’, filling the gap where other clergy from the community were unable to visit their church members. By Katie McClure.

Let us not forget the future hope and comfort that enabling people to die well will bring.

Whether Covid-19 will lead to a resurgence of faith in Europe will be seen in years to come but, for now, it has forced churches to innovate in their responses to grief and death and share the hope in Christ beyond the walls of the church.

A new narrative will be required as missionaries return to the new ‘normal’; narratives that define the shape of God’s mission in Europe.

The time of crisis is inevitably also a time of opportunity for reconciliation, mediation and a new start.

The church is God’s agent of reconciliation. It will seek for ways to reconcile the people with God and with one another and lead them into God’s kingdom.  

Covid-19 exposes the stark inequalities of our world as it wreaks havoc most on those for whom lockdown means no money and no food and who don’t have access to the basics of clean water and soap let alone a garden or park.

As Christians in today’s culture, we need to have an awareness of the competing gods of digital Babylon. If we actively serve the gods of Europe, we may in the end find ourselves not worshiping the God of the Universe.

Seventy-five years ago this week, the forces of Nazi Germany formally surrendered to Allied Forces in what came to be called Victory in Europe Day. But the 9th May is also the seventieth anniversary of a three-minute speech by Robert Schuman.

For Western European churches mission could be translated as: “Let’s go to other countries to serve”. However, for most Eastern European countries missiology is merely similar to theology.

It might be more helpful to talk about Europe in the plural, to accept that there are probably several different versions of Europe.

We need to stop offering a cheap Christianity to a generation that is tired of consumerism.

Women have always advanced God mission through history. They are used by God to continue doing this today.

The impact of demographic change on religious populations and how this could relate to the future of secularisation in Europe.

For Taylor, the loss of transcendence in a secular age is disastrous for human beings.

For a long time, the main thrust of politics with respect to religion was separation of Church and state. In our secularised multi-religious society, the question is: how can churches contribute to the common good in society?

A response to the Pew Research Center’s 2018 report, Being Christian in Europe.

To be strong in one area of religiosity does not guarantee that a person will be strong in other areas. Inconsistency may be evident in any one of the parameters of being Christian.

Joanne Appleton talks about nominalism with  three attendees at the Lausanne Rome consultation: Tim Grass, Jaume Llenas and Olof Edsinger.

Twice-monthly social events are held for between 80-150  people, sometimes even more. The asylum seekers and refugees cook meals from their own countries, with occasional British cuisine.
