Entitled ‘Beyond Individualism’, the event will examine responses to the advance of secularism and the collapse of a shared moral purpose underpinning European culture through the rise of empty consumerism. It will provoke the Christian community to articulate a robust and compelling response to the crisis facing Europe.

Contributors include contemporary political thinkers, social commentators and church leaders including Dr Phillip Blond, Lord Glasman, Francis Davis, Os Guinness, Maria Hildingsson, Franck Margain, Eimert van Middelkoop, Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali and Andrea Williams.

The event is being hosted in London by the European Christian Political Movement (ECPM), a growing trans-national association of Christian Democratic parties and Christian public policy organisations from across Europe, at the invitation of the Christian Peoples Alliance (CPA) party, with organisation and arrangements made by lobby group Christian Concern.
The ECPM also has the support of UK-based Christian political and policy think-tanks, CARE, The Jubilee Centre, The Relationships Foundation and THEOS who are also partners in this event.

Welcoming the conference, Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali said: “We need in this country to develop a tradition of thinking in a Christian way about democracy, the rule of law and our political life in general and I hope that this conference will help people from across the political spectrum to begin to do that.”

Church leaders, politicians and other leaders in public life havebeen invited to attend the event, which is open to Christian members of the public. Owing to the generosity of sponsors, a limited number of heavily subsidised places are currently available (via the event website).
