101 Workshop 9: Re-evangelization of the North: New Forms of Church Life in Post-Modern Societies Moderator: Neal Blough, Foyer Grebel, 13, rue du Val-d'Osne, F-94410 Saint-Maurice There is a growing consensus in Roman Catholic, conciliar Protestant and Evangelical circles: Western Europe is no longer the center of "Christendom" II but has rather become a mission field in its own right. Europe needs to be evangelized, or as some would claim, re-evangelized. "Re-evangelize", for in contrast to many other areas of the world where the church is engaged in mission activity, Europe has long considered itself to be "Christian", its culture is steeped in the Judeo-Christian heritage and its institutions and ideologies have been shaped by more than millenium old civilization where the church and Christian faith were dominant factors in all areas of life. This provides a completely different context for the presentation of the Gospel message. Already in 1943 at least some French Roman Catholics were already considering their country as a mission field and attempting to apply the fruits of mission and missio- logical experience in far-away countries to their own situation ( 1 ). Today such an . attitude no longer is met with astonishment.
