Europe At Midnight is dedicated to ‘Understanding Europe, Rediscovering Christ.’ I publish articles and host events focused on (a) understanding what is happening in Europe and (b) exploring what a future of Christianity might look like.
Welcome to Europe At Midnight, an exploration of emerging religious trends and the future of Christianity in post-secular Europe.

Editorial perspective
Broadly Christian, including both the West and the East. I am interested in dialogue and learning from others, not in arguing about who is wrong. There will be no cheap culture war point scoring here. I am not primarily looking at specific groups, churches, or branches of Christianity, but at broader trends or unusual perspectives. While other themes could be included, I have chosen these themes (listed below) because they are not usually adequately addressed elsewhere. However, they are of direct relevance to the future of European Christianity.
