CA feiert seinen 40. Geburtstag. 1968 wurde die Organisation gegründet und ist seither vor allem in Europäischen Städten aktiv. Es gab einige Rückblicke und Geschichten im Laufe der Vorkonferenz für Teamleiter hier in Sopron, aber auch Ausblicke auf die Zukunft. Schon immer war es CA ein Anliegen, nicht nur Kirchen zu „kopieren“, sondern kulturell relevant zu sein. In nur 40 Jahren – kulturgeschichtlich eigentlich ein Klacks – gab es aber so viele Veränderungen, dass man quasi ständig gefordert war, in guter Weise mit der Zeit zu gehen. Und das wird voraussichtlich so weitergehen, auch wenn es immer mehr Projekte in immer mehr Ländern werden. Irgendwie spannend, dabei zu sein.
CA has its 40th anniversary. The organization was founded in 1968 and has been active ever since, predominantly in European cities. Prospect and retrospect was one part of the pre-conference for team leaders here in Sopron. Cultural relevance has always been a major goal of CA, rather than just planting churches after existing models. Those 40 years are like nothing compared with human history, yet there have been so many changes the past four decades that CA had to “keep adjusting”. This won’t probably stop in future, even if there is an increasing number of CA projects in an increasing number of countries. Exciting to be a part of it.
