A SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION IS HAPPENING!
Under the Radar
A spiritual revolution is happening across Europe today.
Quietly, under the radar, it is spreading and growing,
shaping the minds and spirits of company executives,
schoolchildren educationalists and housewives.
It is shaping Europe´s future.
It´s a revival - of old pagan spirituality.
Yet it´s called the New Spirituality.
And it is far more attractive to Europeans than is Islam.
Europeans are spiritually hungry again!
Perhaps there is more spiritual hunger outside the Church than inside!
The last place many expect to encounter spiritual reality is in the Church. They seek it via Reiki, Yoga, Feng Shui, channelling, Kabbalah, Wicca, goddess worship, holistic healing and a host of other options called, collectively, the New Spirituality.
How then can we be equipped for the opportunities and challenges this revolution presents?
What are these opportunities? Who is grasping these effectively? How can we learn from their example?
And what if the European Church ignores this challenge, hoping it will just go away...?
To seek answers to these and other questions, join us in Basel for this consultation.
