equmenia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

equmenia is a Christian youth organization in Sweden . It was founded in 2007 as a merger of the Svenska Baptisternas Ungdomsförbund (SBUF), the Metodistkyrkans Ungdomsförbund (MKU) and the Svenska Missionskyrkans Ungdom (Youth of the Swedish Mission Church ). With the merger, the youth organizations anticipated the unification of the three sponsoring churches to form Equmeniakyrkan , which was decided in 2008 and carried out in 2011.

equmenia has around 39,000 members, making it one of the largest youth organizations in the country. 18,000 of the members are scouts of the Svenska Missionskyrkans Ungdom Scout (SMU-Scout), the second largest scout organization in Sweden. equmenia is thus indirectly one of the five member organizations of Svenska Scoutrådet .
