Witnessing Together in Geneva: Unity in Diversity
In Geneva, we are living in a time of profound change in the Christian landscape. So-called “ethnic” or “international” churches are multiplying, bringing with them their languages, their cultures, and their ways of living the faith. This diversity, far from being a threat, is a source of enrichment. It encourages us to reflect on what it means to be Christians together, here and now.
The Apostle Paul reminds us in the Epistle to the Ephesians (4:3) of the call to “maintain the unity of the Spirit.” And African wisdom expresses it powerfully: “I am because we are.” These words invite us to transcend our cultural boundaries to find our stability and identity in Christ.
It is in this spirit that the Witnessing Together in Geneva (TEAG) movement was born in 2002. Through the initiative of Pastor Lukas Vischer and with the support of both historic churches and new communities, TEAG has become a space where we can meet, dialogue and build together.
What is our common mission in Geneva?
How can we grow together by supporting one another?
Today more than ever, the TEAG is a spiritual and intercultural crossroads. It reminds us that our unity is not found in uniformity, but in reconciled diversity. As Jesus said: “That they may all be one” (John 17:21).
Dear brothers and sisters, this is not a time for isolation or mistrust, but for shared witness. It is together, in prayer, sharing, and solidarity, that we can bring the light of Christ to Geneva.
Witnessing Together in Geneva is our response to the challenge of unity in diversity.
