EBF Council

We gather to discern together, support one another and dream new dreams

Discerning God's Future Together

The EBF Council which meets annually in September is the main decision-making body for the EBF. The Council is made up of representatives of the Unions, IBTS Centre, members, and partner mission organisations.

 

It usually numbers between 120-130 delegates and its meetings are also a time for worship, inspiration and informal sharing and renewing of friendship between members.

Council 2024

25-28 September 2024, Budapest, Hungary

As we meet in Budapest’s Museum of Ethnography we will be confronted by the reality of an era that is passing but an equal reality of an era that is not yet born. Mark Sayers describes this time as the “grey zone.” As Miroslav Volf has commented: “We minister in a time of great tension, economic, cultural, political and ecological.” How will the church witness at this moment in history? How will our uniting together speak and demonstrate the possibility of rebirth? Our council is a place for connecting, collaborating and challenging one another to embrace the opportunities that this change of era brings.
