At first glance one might say that the church in Europe has drifted from its roots. Fewer than 20 percent of Western Europeans say they go to church twice a month or more. We need not look too far from our own front doors to witness this secularization that has been firmly entrenched in our own country and churches. However, signs of renewal are all around. God is doing a new thing in Europe. The PC(USA) is glad to be a part of this renewal. The group of regional liaisons and mission personnel both short and long term, are vital to this mission. They have an enormous impact on the families and communities with whom they do the day-to-day hard work of ministry in another culture and church tradition. Gifts to this account assure a strong mission connection through our mission co-workers in Europe. |
