Global Survey of Evangelical Protestant Leaders

Evangelical Protestant leaders who live in the Global South (sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, Latin America and most of Asia) generally are optimistic about the prospects for evangelicalism in their countries. But those who live in the Global North (Europe, North America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand) tend to be more pessimistic.  This is one of the findings of the survey done at the Lausanne Congress held in Capetown in October 2010.  The resulting report offers a detailed portrait of the beliefs and practices of this group of global evangelical leaders.  It finds a high degree of consensus on some core theological matters, such as the belief that Christianity is the ―one, true faith leading to eternal life, and that the Bible is the word of God. But it also finds a number of subjects on which evangelical leaders are divided.
