Something is happening in Denmark. Public figures are speaking openly about faith. Churches report a growing interest – especially among young people. And across Europe, similar stories are emerging.
A new survey from The Danish Bible Society confirms this trend in Denmark and points to a new generation marked by curiosity about faith, church, and the Bible. Some have begun to speak of a “quiet revival” unfolding in secular Europe.
But what do we actually know about this development? How do we understand the new expressions of faith? And how do we respond as churches?
Mission has been described as discerning what God is doing and joining in. At this Open Seminar, we set out to do just that.
We are honored to welcome keynote speakers with leading expertise in this field, who will help us navigate and interpret these developments.
This is the third time we invite Danish and international pastors and church leaders and others with an interest in cross-cultural work for the Open Seminar – a space to learn, share, and be church together. Join us as we seek to understand what God is doing in our time.
