Summary: | Europe is a divided house. Politically, culturally and even religiously Europeans often find themselves in opposite camps. European evangelical Christians add to this diversity and even to the tensions. Yet they are called to unity among themselves and to a ministry of reconciliation in their respective nations. The mission of European evangelical churches must include a commitment to a mission of convivence. Both the challenge of diversity and the commitment to a mission of convivence are defined and discussed in this article. Biblical and theological arguments underline this call for the Church to be an agent of transformation in its particular context as well as in the nation and even on the continent of Europe.
