In the Spanish city of Zaragoza, national and international speakers addressed the trends in Europe around the question of human identity.

Identity is one of the most talked issues in Europe today. At the Spanish Fórum Apologética (Apologetics Forum), answers to some unresolved fundamental questions were explored form a Christian perspective.

“Not only society, but also as a church we have suffered a lot in recent years and we can say that we are not the same as before”, said at the beginning of the event Andy Wickham, director of the Pontea Foundation, one of the organisers of the conference, alongside GBU (IFES Spain) and the Spanish Evangelical Alliance. “We are in a context that is more vulnerable, more broken, and also perhaps more open to seeking answers”.

It was in this context that plenary sessions, Bible expositions and seminars focused on “finding true meaning in a culture of self-esteem”.

The event took place at the Evangelical Baptist Church in the city of Zaragoza from 6 to 8 May. In addition to the 180 people who attended in person, a further 70 people fllowed the event via live streaming. Over 30 volunteers worked on a new “hybrid” Forum format. The participation of the local church worship team in the conference’s sessions was also highlighted by many.
