At this conference we want to discuss where Protestant influences manifest themselves in our European societies and where Protestantism becomes visible. We will explore these questions with reference to various sociological and ecclesiological approaches to religion. In doing so, we will also explore the question of where Protestantism can and should take responsibility and what glimmers of hope it can offer society. In this way, the conference aims to highlight the unifying points of Protestantism in Europe.
