Lausanne

In the history of the modern evangelical movement it could be argued that no gathering has been more influential in shaping evangelicalism than the first two gatherings of the Lausanne Conference. I was privileged to be a participant in Lausanne’s Younger Leaders Gathering (YLG) in Malaysia earlier in the autumn.

During the flight home I was talking with Chris Keller (editor of The Other Journal: an Intersection of Theology and Culture), and as we debriefed our Lausanne experiences we ended up exploring the question:

“Having been to Lausanne’s YLG, do I want to be an evangelical?”

We had a lively conversation, and the seedlings of our brief conversation have morphed into a small collection of response-essays from delegates to Lausanne‘s YLG from around the world.These response-essays are now live on The Other Journal‘s website; here’s the link to my response. I always find it helpful to hear other’s perspectives, especially those different from my own.

Peace, dwight
