Re-Evangelizing Europe: Beyond
the Theory
Conference for Christian leaders in Europe takes place April 20th –24th 2005 in the Czech Republic For the
first time the European Catholic Charismatic Renewal and RELaY
(Reconciliation, Evangelization, Leadership and Youth) are partnering
together to organize a conference for European Leaders. Subtitled ‘Beyond the
Theory’ the conference aims to explore the issue of how to make the re-evangelization of
Europe a concrete reality. There will
be input by key note speakers, intense exchange and networking. Theme Pope Paul VI’s letter "Evangelii nuntiandi - On Evangelization in the Modern World” (1975)
has been both the subject of countless seminars and courses as well as the
inspiration for numerous evangelistic initiatives across Europe. What
progress have we made in re-evangelizing our continent? During this
conference we want to examine this question, looking specifically at the
experience of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Europe. This conference is
not intended just for people involved in evangelistic ministry, rather, it is
geared towards Christian leaders who are desiring to share and find ways to
see their prayer group, community, youth group, parish move “beyond the
theory” towards sustainable and fruitful evangelization. Speakers Michelle
Moran is the Ministry
Director for the Sion Catholic Community for
Evangelism in UK and currently the chair person for the European sub
committee of the International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services (ICCRS). Her passion for evangelization and engaging
speaking style make her a popular speaker. Damian Stayne is the founder
of a lay charismatic community Cor et Lumen Christi
in London. Damian’s ministry is to equip Christians to use the gifts of the
Spirit more effectively in their lives. At this conference he will speak
about the importance of charisms in evangelization. Otto Neubauer is the main co-ordinator of the Emmanuel community in Vienna. The
archdiocese gave his office the primary responsibility for running the “City
Mission” in Vienna. Tracks Reconciliation:
