Lausanne: a new landmark for mission?

Israel Olofinjana

The first major Lausanne conference in Europe since a landmark event in 1974 has taken place.

More than 1,000 evangelical influencers listened to plenary speakers and discussed issues like ‘Christian identity in the era of identity politics’, ‘Reaching university students’, and ‘The gospel and the city’.

The Lausanne Europe Online Gathering was the first major Lausanne conference in Europe since the original congress called by Billy Graham in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1974. It became a watershed event in the history of Christian mission. The Lausanne Covenant, which is recognised as one of the most important church documents of the 20th century, resulted directly from that first congress.
