Evangelical representatives from France, Austria and Italy took part in an OSCE meeting held in Rome. Julia Doxat-Purser, from the European Evangelical Alliance, expressed concern about how evangelicals are portrayed in a ‘toxic atmosphere’ that increasingly fuels hatred towards ‘the other’.

The new president of the entity representing evangelicals in Austria is a member of the Federation of Evangelical Churches (BEG). The assembly also approved a Code of Ethics.
