Event description:

The third Lausanne Congress will take place from October 16-25, 2010 in Cape Town, South Africa. Slightly more than 4,000 leaders from more than 200 countries have been invited to participate. The diversity will be greater than ever with more countries invited and the selection committees’ emphasis on women, ethnic minorities, and young leaders. Of the 4,000 invitees, 400 will be from the U.S. and three are from The Mission Society – Dr. Darrell Whiteman, Rev. Kirk Sims, and Richard Coleman.

Among the topics scheduled to be covered during Lausanne III are: the uniqueness of Christ in a pluralistic world; reconciliation, suffering (global economic injustice, disease, environment, and poverty); relativism, unity, and the unfinished task of evangelization.
