Bringing Christianity into the Public Square

Is Evangelism in Your Church's DNA?

As Europe becomes more hosti le to God, the irony is that

Europeans are more open to the gospel now than any time in the

past 25 years. However, the church seems less prepared than

ever before to proclaim the gospel.

Persuasive Evangelism

Evangel ism becomes persuasive when we understand the

questions, doubts and objections that people have and interact

with them in the course of presenting the gospel.

Working Together

Solas Centre for Publ ic Christianity is an international media and

training ministry dedicated to spreading the l ight of Jesus Christ -

from the publ ic square to the publ ic house, from the pews to the

people - as part of the joint effort we al l must be making to re-

evangel ise Europe.

Press Office

We interact with both secular and Christian media, providing

interviews and commentary for print, onl ine, radio and television:

defending a Christian worldview and seeking to bring the good

news of Jesus Christ through the media.

Quench Café Evangelism

Reaching beyond the church's four wal ls to where ideas are

discussed - the local café, pub, bookshop - Solas helps groups and

churches 'quench' spiritual thirst through café evangel ism.
