CHURCH ON EQUAL FOOTING is a fascinating network of organisations, associations and churches across church groupings. One question is close to the hearts of all its partners: how can we as a church live interculturally in the future?
How can we escape from a mostly monocultural church life? Would it not be amazing if today’s church reflected the colourfulness and wealth of languages and cultures promised us for the end of the age? A Mission Statement was formulated, putting into words the heartbeat of “Church on Equal Footing”:
EQUAL FOOTING
Living interculturally as a church
The world is at home in Germany today.
God calls us from our limitations into a new worldwide fellowship in our local area.
We acknowledge that we are brothers and sisters and receive one another as a gift from God’s hand.
We learn to structure our fellowships together in all matters.
In this way we experience church as a foretaste of heaven.
Church on Equal Footing is a Germany-wide network, rather than an association or organisation. At the biannual meetings which so far have taken place in the form of “strategy workshops”, we experience one another as a fellowship in encouragement and mission, inspired and bound together by the Holy Spirit.
We are convinced: for a “CHURCH ON EQUAL FOOTINGl”, you need people with burning hearts, but also knowledge, skills and courage.
We are therefore developing practical projects for all three of the above-mentioned areas.
How
will
CHURCH ON EQUAL FOOTING
achieve this?
Who is involved?
I have been involved with Church on Equal Footing ever since the beginning because people from other cultures are a great enrichment for local people and because intercultural encounters have to be sought and organised proactively.
