Cairo's Europe
Kairos Europa is an ecumenical network of different church groups, associations and individuals, inspired by liberation theology , who work for the environment and a just world order.
history
The network emerged from the Kairos process, a church initiative founded in 1985 that campaigned against apartheid in South Africa. The idea of a European Kairos process then emerged in 1989 at the first European Ecumenical Assembly of Churches. Ulrich Duchrow was an important initiator . The aim was to conduct a broad ecclesiastical and social debate on the consequences of globalization at all levels and thereby contribute to a more just and tolerant world.
In 2012, Kairos Europe joined the Umfairteile alliance .
