Discrimination, restrictions on the right to freedom of religion or belief, and religiously motivated violence are on the rise and the World Evangelical Alliance is taking it to the United Nations in Geneva.
On Sunday, January 14, Evangelical Alliances across Europe have kicked off the annual Week of Prayer where local churches from diverse denominational backgrounds come together each year to pray for greater unity in the body of Christ. Marking the 50th anniversary since the historic International Congress on World Evangelization held in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1974, this year’s prayer material features reflections on the Lausanne Covenant and its continued relevance today.
