EBF Council

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.
