Christians in the Netherlands come from all over the country and all cultures of the world. The ChristenUnie wants to assemble all these Christians. The Colourful Network is inviting you to join their Colourful meeting on Friday June 7th.
The Colourful Network of the ChristenUnie is founded to represent the multicultural diversity within the party and to amplify the relation between the ChristenUnie and multicultural communities. We address topics such as the multicultural society, migrant churches, racism, discrimination and diversity. We also see about meetings between Christians and encourage talent to grow and achieve their ambitions.
During the Colourful Meeting we want to assemble Christians from all cultures to meet and talk about the relation between faith and politics. Christians don’t always have it easy in the Netherlands, for example to stand up for their church or being able to express their beliefs. Therefor it is important that politics stands up for Christians as well and that Christians contribute to politics. We would like to talk about how more Christians from multicultural communities can be involved in politics and how we can work together as Christians to be of meaning in this country.
During this evening member of parliament Don Ceder will speak on the importance of Christian connectedness in the society and in politics.
Walk-in will start at 17.00h. We will start the evening at 17.30h with praise and worship. After that we will have dinner together. Than we will have sessions in two rounds. During this sessions we will talk about different topics: the problem of the housing of churches, being political-active as Christians en about involving youths in society and politics. There will also be a session where we will pray for the country and its politics. At 21.30h we will close with drinks and snacks.
