The Lausanne Europe 20/21 Conversation and Gathering in November 2021 was the first pan-European Lausanne gathering in a generation. Under the theme of Dynamic Gospel – New Europe, it refreshed the challenge of the First Lausanne Congress in 1974 and brought together nearly 1200 delegates and inspired a new generation of European leaders with the vision of the Lausanne Movement.

This year’s Lausanne Europe National Movement Gathering will take that a step further. Teams representing nearly forty different European countries will come together in Budapest from 2nd-5th November to pray, hear God’s word, and consider how the Lausanne Movement might impact their countries in the years ahead.

We are convinced that we can only do this if we truly hear the diversity of European voices. We will do that in three ways:

Firstly, as suggested above, the national delegations will be small and equal in size; the German delegation will be the same size as the Croat delegation, for example.

Secondly, the delegations will be balanced in their representation; in the team of four, there will be at least one woman, at least one person under 35, at least one marketplace person, and at least one person from a diaspora or Roma background.

Thirdly, as much as possible, we want the national teams to work in their mother tongues. The Bible engagement will be mostly around tables in your national languages as will the discussions of the challenges and opportunities for your country and how Lausanne might contribute to that. Of course, we will use English for sharing stories, insights and conclusions, but we believe this effort will make a huge difference to what we actually hear about what God is doing in Europe.
