Europe Area Gathering
On 16 to 18 May 2022 some 40 Alliance directors, board chairs and invited guests gathered in Holzhausen, Germany. The purpose was to explore trends of the global Bible translation movement. They were presented a kaleidoscope overview of the Bible translation movement. Through a facilitated process they identified implications for their Alliance organisations as well as connecting with others who share common interests.
Day one of the event was formatted on the design of the “TED-style conference”, with short, fast-paced presentations. It included both live and video presentations.
The following are the presentations that were given:
