The idea that mental illness and disease are caused by invisible energies or ancestral curses is not biblical. Christian ethics and moral theology emphasise personal responsibility, human dignity, and relational restoration rather than inherited guilt.

Does a renewed interest in a ‘Christian past’ automatically lead to an openness to the gospel? Does undoing ‘woke’ paradigms necessarily mean that there is a genuine interest in the values of Jesus? In the current cultural shift, the challenge for Christians in Europe is to continue to be uncomfortable for those in power.

Because of our cultural glasses in the West today, we miss the criticism that the Old Testament makes of the culture of the time. A classic example of this is the ‘lex talonis’ in Exodus.

We met in Barcelona with a simple but ambitious goal: to see that all evangelical churches in Spain have an extensive cross-cultural missionary culture.

The question continues to resurface in evangelical circles: “Is the Catholic gospel the same as the biblical gospel?” 

The government's recent decision regarding three Christian schools reignites the debate in a society where an increasing number of families are interested in enrolling their children. An analysis from Finland.

It is deeply encouraging to witness how brothers and sisters in Poland continue in the work for God’s Kingdom and look for new ways to proclaim the Gospel and equip believers.

The Nicene Creed also implies obligations. Yes, it actually defines what a ‘classical Christian faith’ can be considered to be.

This experience certainly inspires us to return to our communities with renewed enthusiasm and vision, knowing that we are not alone in our journey and the challenges we face.

The dismissal of influential pastor Daniel Alm for abuse of power in his relationship with two female employees has ended up in the courts, where he has lost. A comment from Sweden.

The Ukrainians who travelled to Wisła, Poland, to attend the ELF conference did not talk about numbers. They shared stories about children suffering from vicarious trauma, regular Christians praying with soldiers on the front line, and the resilient action of churches serving displaced families.

The gut feeling of many Europeans – and certainly that of many Swedes – is pointing them in the wrong direction.

The Polish evangelical magazine Słowo Prawdy (Word of Truth) celebrated its 100th anniversary.

New and old. These two words describe Pope Leo XIV, newly elected by the conclave as head of the Roman Catholic Church.

What motivates these emigrants and their children, after years in Germany, to move to a place where their families suffered decades of humiliation, persecution and oppression? Where does the sudden enthusiasm for Russia come from?

The slow recovery after six months of the DANA floods is a reminder that we should not just assume that ‘everything will be fine’.

We need to ask ourselves what is happening inside us that allows us to turn our planet—our home—into a giant garbage dump and remain indifferent.

Politicians, whom are you going to address to your message? Only to the majorities? To the opinion leaders? To the lobbies? And whom are you going to listen to?

As the Evangelical Alliance United Kingdom we are vehemently opposed to this bill and communicated as such. We are speaking with MPs and write submission to the parliament committee.

In Europe and also the Unites States, the strongest political activism isn’t found among evangelical Christians, but among progressive and liberal theological denominations.

75% of the 246 members of the Swiss national parliament are members of a church institution – compared to only 58% of the population as a whole. Does it make a difference in the country's decision making?

Europe has an enormous bureaucracy (parliament, commission, council, courts, etc.), many skills and excellences in various sectors, but it does not have an adequate leadership.

Work is not simply an economic “prosthesis”; nor a “necessary evil” that goes from Monday to Friday waiting for the weekend.

In these days of global geopolitical turmoil, there seems to have arisen in Europe a nostalgia for a vision of the world that is very reminiscent of the gospel.

A nation whose leaders once spoke of the USA as a “city on a hill” and “the light of the world” is now having a president who is projecting imperial ambitions (similar to those of the Russian Federation) with a distinctly transactional mindset.
