Christians in the Netherlands come from all over the country and all cultures of the world. The ChristenUnie wants to assemble all these Christians. The Colourful Network is inviting you to join their Colourful meeting on Saturday October 12th.
The Colourful Network of the ChristenUnie is founded to represent the multicultural diversity within the party and to amplify the relation between the ChristenUnie and multicultural communities. We address topics such as the multicultural society, migrant churches, racism, discrimination and diversity. We also see about meetings between Christians and encourage talent to grow and achieve their ambitions.
During the Colourful Meeting we want to assemble Christians from all cultures to meet and talk about the relation between faith and politics. The core questions are: “Politics; how does it affect you? And how can you feel “At home at the ChristenUnie?”.
During this evening member of parliament Don Ceder will speak on the importance of Christian connectedness in the society and in politics.
