Europe At Midnight

Faith in a post-secular world

Once, there was no ‘secular.’ The world was filled with the divine. And now, after modernity, we are ‘post-secular.’ Religion is back, but in a post-secular shape and within a multi-religious space. The world is filled with plenty of options. Like me, you have probably explored some of these:

• For some, religion serves only as a decorative element in their self-care toolkit.. 
• For others, the post-secular has opened the door to more substantial spiritual experiences, to spirits, and all things pagan, whether real or fake. 
• Some of us don’t feel at home in most churches, while others hunger for depth as the rest merely skim the surface.
• Many younger Christians—both converts and rediscoverers—gravitate towards traditional, liturgical churches. 
• Others are rediscovering the great classical works of philosophy and literature, which once formed the basis of what we call ‘culture,’ the culture of European Christianity.

How can we make sense of this? What does this mean for the future of Christianity in Europe? And what does this mean for our own faith?

Europe At Midnight begins with the conviction that we must take this post-secular, multi-religious, retro- and neo-pagan world seriously. At the same time, we are not yet done with Christianity and the culture it helped shape. The question is, how can there be a future for Christianity in Europe after the demise of Christian Europe? 

You’re invited to embark on a journey of intellectual and spiritual formation. Let’s learn to think, pray, and live from the deep wells of our Christian tradition. Let’s do this together.
