Church and state - a case study from England Martyn Eden
"John Coffey has helpfully summarised the contemporary state of religion in England. He attributes the Church´s loss of influence at least in part to post modern individualism and consumerism, though he notes that the charismatic and Pentecostal forms of evangelicalism seem to cope with these influences better than the traditional churches.
However, he is convinced that the decline of organised religion “is a profoundly contingent process, conditional upon a set of local variables”."
"... It is important to remember that while worldviews and ideas have fixed points of reference, people are very different. We are ambiguous and full of contradictions. Modernity, Post Modernity and Islam are colliding in this ambiguous situation...." (2 pages)
"... We must learn to differentiate between KINDS of Nationalisms as it seems to be a legacy of modernity to totalize what is in fact a diverse and nuanced subject. The Nationalism in Switzerland can scarcely be equated with the variety recently modelled in Serbia and Croatia...."
David Aikman, author of "Hope, The Heart´s Great Quest" and former TIME bureau chief in Moscow, Berlin, Jerusalem and Beijing takes us through the Revelation, Revolution and the Revival of Hope. ...

Developing christian impact on society Dr. John Stott
"Christianity, secularism, hedonism, materialism, Marxism, ancient religions, modern cults and the New Age are all competing for the souls of our countries. Which is going to win? Will Christians be able to influence their country? ..."
The transforming power of Jesus Christ Dr. John Stott
Jesus Christ offers hope to Europe and the rest of the world precisely because He offers power to change the status quo. Hope and power belong together: other options are failing us. Modernity, ... the autonomy of reason, the omnipotence of science and the inevitability of progress, has been largely discredited. ...
"Since the Reformation, Protestant churches and mission organisations have traditionally been structured on the nation-state. Yet as we prepare for the coming millennium, perhaps we need to examine this ..."
Facing the ethical challenge of Christian eschatology and ethics in the penultimate and inspired by the ultimate. Seven reasons for hope from Revelation 21: 1-8
How can we see Europe with the eyes of God? How can we look at the history of Europe through the spectacles of the Scriptures? The past 20 centuries of European history have produced shocking and horrifying events, culminating in two world wars. Yet European history has also produced great events, riches and wealth, the development of science and technology, and the resulting welfare society. We can see both curse and blessing. What is the secret, if any, behind all of this? What is the current spiritual state of Europe? What should we say to the post-modern western European? What should we say to the post-communist eastern European?
"Although we have swept our European house clean of fascism and of communism, and we now have democracy and freedom of speech, we also now have a Europe emptier than before of the Christian faith which once permeated society...."
A bronze chariot pulled by four prancing steeds and held aloft by the six-pillared Brandenburg Gate guarded the most famous dividing line in the world: the Berlin Wall. Facing towards the eastern sector, the chariot watched over this heavily-guarded checkpoint, one of a handful allowing traffic between East and West Berlin. Then came that November night in 1989 when the Wall was pounded into oblivion by euphoric crowds...
Over two millennia, Europe´s ´Christian´ identity has been forged by apostolic bands, wandering monks, scholars, reformers, revivalists, social reformers and countless anonymous witnesses to the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Today, at the start of the third millennium, this ´Christian´ identity is becoming obsolete...

Rule of Law Bulgaria Rev. Dr. Nik Nedelchev & Lawyer Latchezar Popov
More than a thousand churches united in the fall of 2002 in Ireland in a nation-wide campaign to increase awareness of the gospel in society through the media.
If you have visited Albania in recently, you have probably seen the characteristic red hand and accompanying statement MJAFT! If so, you have caught that the theme is ENOUGH! of something, and that those somethings are themes such as corruption, trafficking, poor level of services, revenge, and poverty.
London Church leaders united in a unique partnership to ensure Christian values played a central role in the election campaign for London´s first mayor under the new Greater London Authority.
