Building new

I just returned from the annual conference of the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden, held in Gothenburg. It was together with the Baptist Union and the Methodist Church. A statement was adopted, saying that we altogether want to go on in the process of building something new: a new church, in stead of the three present churches.
Much has to be done still, and no formal decisions were made. But we want to move on. It is exciting: we may have a possibility to establish a new church, having room for all of us. Our three youth organisations established at the same conference a federation, named equmenia. As many times, the young are challenging us all to take steps.
Christ prayed for unity among his followers. This has come a bit more within reach at the Gothenburg Meeting this year!
