What is a Cape Town 2010 Advance Paper and Why Does it Matter?

In October, 4,000 Christian leaders gathered in South Africa for Cape Town 2010, The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization.

The presenters at Cape Town 2010 prepared “Advance Papers” as previews of the material they addressed in their presentations. These papers were released through the Lausanne Global Conversation allowing people around the world to respond with input and comments prior to the Congress.

Responses to these papers were reviewed and shared with the Cape Town 2010 Programme team, Congress presenters and others.

When the presenters spoke in Cape Town, their presentations were shaped by the input received through the Lausanne Global Conversation.

While the Advance Papers are not transcripts of the Cape Town 2010 sessions, they are the foundational material used by the presenters, and may continue to be helpful to those without the capacity to view or download the sessions in video format.

The Advance Papers are available in the 8 Congress languages.
