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.

The United States should act in accordance with the beliefs it claims to hold, says Ruslan Kukharchuck. Other evangelicals in Europe are wondering if US Christian ministries will also cool down their relationship with churches on this side of the Atlantic.

In an interview, Frank Heinrich of the Evangelical Alliance in Germany, shares his impressions - and where he was annoyed by Donald Trump.

Some evangelicals still do not know how to translate the Bible into more political areas than the defence of life and family; Carter opened a way for us to explore.

A Baptist Christian, Carter dedicated his life, after a political career, to promoting reconciliation and peace in the world.

After the fall of the al-Asad regime, we are reminded of cases such as Libya and Iraq, where war did not lead to stable governments.

Our Christian presence will bring new life into each sphere, much as the expansion of the early church eventually turned the Roman Empire upside down.

Let us continue to pray for more ‘moments of grace’, and a just and lasting end to this war.

We join up the dots of life around us to create our own narratives, to explain the realities that we perceive.

The Republican candidate gets a clear victory over Kamala Harris.

About 6% of Christians leave their country of birth, according to Pew Research. The United States, Germany, Russia and the United Kingdom are the countries to which most Christians emigrate.

In July, I attended two back-to-back bitcoin conferences in Nashville. I wanted to learn how Christian and non-Christian audiences think about the latest innovative monetary technology, bitcoin.
