Lindsay Brown, International Director of The Lausanne Movement, gave the closing address at the Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelisation.
The first hope of Congress leaders was, he said, for ‘a ringing affirmation of the uniqueness of Christ, and the truth of the biblical gospel; and a clear statement on evangelism and the mission of the Church — all rooted in Scripture’. The Congress drew 4,000 evangelical leaders and influencers from 198 nations. In addition, the event extended its reach to 650 GlobaLink sites in 91 countries.
‘The centrality of Christ and Scripture was beautiful’, said Ian Buchanan, Executive Director of Langham Partnership UK. ‘No one was left in any doubt about the centrality and finality of the biblical story and Jesus Christ’s pivotal position in human history.’
