25 years of "United in Mission": an epochal change of perspective

In June 1996, the United Evangelical Mission (UEM) was launched. What has been set in motion in the past 25 years is still an opportunity today, especially for the German churches and for Christians in Germany - if the change of perspective is successful. While the member churches of the UEM in Africa and Asia have developed their own UEM self-image, the question remains for the German churches whether they can learn more for themselves from the experiences of the churches in Africa and Asia.

Chronicle of our mission: A change of perspective in 26 steps

Follow the annual steps of development of our international UEM, which took a concrete shape with the first Assembly in Ramatea (Botswana) in 1993. Click on the angle on the right for reading.

  • 1993

    This year, the first assembly of the new international UEM communion took place in Ramatea (Botswana). There, delegates from churches in Africa, Asia and Germany adopted the UEM constitution, which will then be forwarded to all churches in Asia, Africa and Germany and to the v. Bodelschwinghsche Foundations Bethel for ratification.

    In Ramatea (Botswana), a process that had already begun in 1973 came to a provisional conclusion, with which new forms of cooperation in mission were explored and developed under the guiding principle of "mature partnership" between partner churches of the UEM in Asia and Africa and the German members of the UEM. From 1988 to 1996, this process was coordinated and led by the United in Mission Committee, which included representatives from all three regions. From the beginning, the German theologian and missionary Peter Sandner, who was born in Windhoek, had a decisive influence on this process. As the first director of the UEM, he contributed decisively to the further development of the outdated German-centered understanding of mission into an international ecumenical community with equal rights.

    The UEM with today's self-understanding as a communion of Protestant churches takes concrete shape at the General Assembly of "United in Mission" in Ramatea under the motto "Growing together into a witnessing communion". In Ramatea, the appointment of the Congolese, Rev. Dr. Kakule Molo, and the Indonesian, Rev. Hamonangan Girsang, also marks the beginning of the process of internationalization of the so-called Referents' Conference, the governing body of the full-time staff of the UEM in Wuppertal. As an expression of the new holistic understanding of mission, the Department for Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation is created, and Rev. Dr. Jochen Motte is appointed to head it. All three are inducted into their offices in Ramatea.

  • 1996 - 1999

    1996

    From June 2 to 9, 1996, the General Assembly of the "United Evangelical Mission" or "United in Mission" will take place in Bielefeld-Bethel (Germany) under the motto: "Witnessing together in Praise, Prayer and Action". At the General Assembly with delegates from Africa, Asia and Germany, the new international "United Evangelical Mission - Communion of Churches in three Continents" becomes the legally binding reality as the successor to the former German United Evangelical Mission Society.

    At that time, the UEM had 33 members, including 32 member churches in Africa, Asia and Germany and the von Bodelschwinghsche Foundations Bethel. The majority of the members and thus of the delegates come from Africa and Asia; this is reflected in the plenary assembly through the one-third parity. In addition, there are elected women and youth delegates. The Indonesian theologian Dr. Soritua Nababan is elected as the first moderator of the new UEM. The operational business at the Wuppertal (Germany) headquarters, the Barmer Mission House on the site of the former Rhenish Missionary Society, is managed by Pastor Rainer Groth as Director of the Mission together with the Executive Staff (board of directors). The International Council serves as a subcommittee of the Assembly, convened annually with the Executive Committee.

    The Women's Working Group, which was formed during the United in Mission process to represent the interests of women within the new church communion, will continue after 1996. The new constitution explicitly includes the designation of women's and youth delegates in addition to the Assembly delegates sent by the members.

    The new international Council appoints a regional coordinator for each of the three UEM regions, who works in the regional offices in Kigali (Rwanda), Medan (Indonesia) and Wuppertal. Rev. Ruth Quiocho from the Philippines, then Rev. Dr. Robin Butarbutar from Indonesia, Rev. Dr. Samuel Hendje Toya from Cameroon and Rev. Dr. Jörg Baumgarten worked in these positions at the UEM until 2008.

    The internationalization of the Executive Staff in Wuppertal, which began in 1993, continues to progress. The new constitution also introduces regional assemblies of UEM members in their respective regions, at which the focal points for joint programs, projects and activities are decided.

    A common logo is developed for the external presentation of the UEM. The Hester-Needham House is opened in the immediate vicinity of the Mission House as a retirement home for members of the UEM sisterhood.

    1997

    In the first operational year of the new United Evangelical Mission, the main focus is on the implementation of the decisions and constitution adopted in 1996. Joint programs with the African and Asian regions are set up and the South-South personnel exchange begins with Dr. Festo and Prica Mutashobya as well as with Exaudi Ndulu, who is sent from Tanzania to Botswana.

    The UEM's first human rights campaign is born, which in the future will be proclaimed to coincide with International Human Rights Day on December 10 each year. The campaign includes a campaign poster and various educational materials for use in schools and community work. In connection with this, financial support is also requested for the corresponding projects in the three regions.

    1998

    The Council meets under the motto "Growing in Faith - a Challenge to Churches in Conflicts and Crises" in Dar-es-Salaam (Tanzania). It is decided to hold joint regional women's seminars in Africa, Asia and Germany in 1999. It is also planned to hold the third international workshop on women's issues under the motto "Overcoming Violence" in 2000. The Council appreciates the initiative of the regions to hold a UEM Sunday/week to publicize UEM programs at the grassroots level and to generate donations.

    The Scripture Archives, the Archives Library, the Historical Picture Archives, and the "Ethnographic Museum" will be merged into the independent "Archives and Museum Foundation of UEM."

    1999

    The exchange of personnel between the regions is intensified. UEM Sundays in the Africa and Asia regions contribute to donations. The regional office moves from Kigali to the administration building of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania in Dar-es-Salaam. The United-in-Mission teams take the UEM's substantive work into the member churches. An evangelists' workshop is held in Bukoba (Tanzania) by the NWD diocese. The Council adopts partnership guidelines as orientation for the more than one hundred bilateral partnerships between the churches and church districts in Africa and Asia with Germany.

  • 2000 - 2003

    2000

    The second UEM Assembly takes place in Windhoek (Namibia) on the invitation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Republic of Namibia (ELCRN) under the motto "At the turn of the millennium let us keep firm in the hope we profess" (Heb. 10:23). The Assembly is preceded by youth and women's pre-assemblies. Bishop Dr. Zephania Kameeta, leader of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (ELCRN), becomes the new moderator of the UEM. The old title of "Director," dating back to the time of the German UEM, will be replaced by that of "General Secretary." The Javanese church Gereja Kristen Jawa Tengah Utara (GKJTU) is accepted as a new member of the church fellowship. An international steward program for young adults during Assemblies is established. The Council is mandated to create a code against sexual harassment. The importance of income-generating programs and projects in Africa and Asia is emphasized, as is the development of programs for young adults.

    2001

    Faced with the challenges of the global HIV/AIDS pandemic, the UEM launches an anti-AIDS program and the UEM Council publishes a statement on HIV/AIDS. An HIV/AIDS advisor is employed in each of the African and Asian regions. Further focal points are: an analysis of the charismatic movement; the topic of "music" as a new area of mission within the UEM communion; the strengthening of the UEM regional offices in Africa and Asia; the further development of the international exchange of personnel within the three UEM regions, for example with new guidelines on the exchange of personnel; support for women's ordination in the few member churches where women have not yet been able to become pastors; the participation of women in decision-making bodies within the member churches and the consideration of gender equality in application processes of the UEM administration in Wuppertal. In addition, the UEM sisterhood adopts a new leadership concept, and a UEM Human Rights Commission is formed to report to the Council.

    2002

    The Council meeting takes place at the invitation of the Methodist Church (MC-SL) in Colombo (Sri Lanka). There are first reflections on the reorganization of the UEM departmental structure.

A UEM hymn will be selected through an international competition. The code of conduct against sexual harassment is adopted and the Evangelical Church in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kinshasa (ECC) is admitted as a new UEM member. The UEM Foundation, approved by the Council, is established. The UEM communion deals with the anti-colonial resistance against the Germans in Namibia, which began one hundred years ago.

    2005

    The UEM work is characterized by the tsunami aid in the severely affected regions of Sri Lanka as well as in Indonesian Sumatra and on the islands of Nias and Mentawai. Thanks to record donations of around 3.7 million euros from private individuals, companies, church districts and UEM members from Africa, Asia and Germany, the tsunami victims can be helped quickly, comprehensively and sustainably. The inconceivable scale of the natural disaster brings people together across religious boundaries for a time.

    With Dr. Fidon Mwombeki from the Northwest Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania, the Council appoints an African theologian for the first time as the new General Secretary of the UEM as of 2006. The Council also decides on the co-financing of a lecturer position at the Ecumenical Institute in Bossey (Switzerland) and appoints Rev. Dr. Claudia Währisch-Oblau as the new head of the Evangelism program area, who previously coordinated the "Congregations of Foreign Languages and Origin" work area in the Germany region.

    2006

    The Council, meeting in Mbou/Bafoussam (Cameroon) at the invitation of the Evangelical Church in Cameroon (EEC), decides to redesign the youth and women's pre-consultations for a better voice of women's and youth representatives at the General Assemblies. As a first step in a restructuring process, the Council forms an "Organizational Development Task Force" charged with designing an organization-wide corporate identity and developing a proposal for the future UEM structure. A "Gender Commission" is established. The UEM supports the unconditional basic income in Namibia (BIC project) and receives the donation seal of the German Central Institute for Social Issues (DZI) for the first time.

    2007

    An international partnership conference is held in Dar-es-Salaam (Tanzania) as a starting point for subsequent joint partnership arrangements. The UEM's international youth volunteer program celebrates its 25th anniversary. An international youth consultation on interfaith dialogue is held in Malang (Indonesia); the long-standing Ecumenical Community, where women from all three regions lived and worked together for a period of time, is discontinued; and the UEM communion provides support to local member churches GKPM and BNKP following severe earthquakes in Mentawai and Nias (Indonesia).

    With multiple and numerous natural disasters facing members in Africa and Asia, the Council recommends that UEM members better prepare for disasters of any kind. This includes, for example, training their own staff to provide expert first aid in emergencies. The Council resolves to continue its anti-HIV/AIDS work and declares its solidarity with the Papuans by condemning all forms of racism. The UEM is particularly involved in the West Papua Network. JPIC's work focuses on promoting the peace process in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa and on helping politically persecuted pastors and UCCP workers in the Philippines. The Department for Women, Youth and Children supports a project of the Baptist Church in the eastern Republic of Congo for trauma healing for victims of sexual violence. Additional support is provided to the Methodist Church in Sri Lanka for its outreach ministry to civil war refugees. The Council expresses solidarity with the UCCP Church in the Philippines and its members who are victims of extrajudicial killings or torture. Furthermore, the Council encourages German members to consider how people with migrant backgrounds can be better integrated into local congregations and their church structures. The Clinical Pastoral Education program in the Philippines and Indonesia will continue. The Hester-Needham House will be converted into the multigenerational house "Living on the Wupper" without affecting its use by the UEM sisterhood.

  • 2008 - 2011

Delegates from the three regions adopt a statement on the corporate identity of the UEM with five main areas of work: advocacy, development, diakonia, evangelism and partnership work. A new Training & Empowerment department is established, responsible for leadership training, mission lectures, volunteer programs, the scholarship program and interregional women's work. A restructuring of the organization with amended bylaws is approved, reducing the size of the Council to a total of 14 members and the Executive Board to a maximum of eight members, and shortening the legislative period to four years with a biennial General Assembly. The UEM Council now meets twice a year, while the Executive Committee and the French working language are abolished. Double-entry bookkeeping in accounts and an annual interregional planning week of all UEM departments from the three regions will be introduced.

    The UEM publishes its book "Mission still possible? Global Perspectives on Mission and Mission Theology" and makes it available to a wide audience at the World Mission Conference in Arusha. In their contributions, the authors explore the extent to which the UEM's understanding of mission, which was adopted in 1993 and 1996 respectively, is still relevant more than 20 years later and what new challenges the churches have to face worldwide. A first think tank on the new educational concept "Global Learning in Ecumenical Perspective" will take place in Germany. Two more think tanks will be held in the Asia and Africa region in the two following years.

  • 2020 - 2021

    2020

    This year is essentially marked by the Corona pandemic. Due to the worldwide travel restrictions, meetings, conferences, seminars, projects, church services, devotions and other events mainly take place online, i.e. via Zoom, YouTube or Facebook. Virtually all employees are offered the technical option of working in a home office. As part of the "United against Covid-19" campaign, the UEM sets up a 1 million euro relief fund and establishes a "Corona Task Force". The "care & share" relief campaign of the co-workers and persionaries of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland and the Evangelical Church of Westphalia results in donations of over 250,000 euros. The UEM staff also joins the fundraising campaign. In addition to the health threat, UEM members in Africa and Asia are also affected economically by COVID-19, as they are financially dependent on donations and collections in church services. They receive funding for their diverse aid projects upon application.

    The board publishes a statement on racism, around the same time anti-racism trainings start. Furthermore, the German Regional Assembly decides on new forms of work with the establishment of networks and specialist groups instead of coordination committees.

    2021

    Celebration! Both the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland and the Evangelical Church of Westphalia have decided at their main synods to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the international UEM in their congregations and partnerships. In view of racism in Papua and political persecution in the Philippines, both synods declare their solidarity with the oppressed brothers and sisters in faith in Asia.

    The Corona pandemic continues to mark the UEM's programmatic work in its three regions. The General Assembly scheduled for fall 2021 is postponed to fall 2022 due to Corona. The Executive Board publishes a paper on the reorientation of UEM partnership work, which is discussed in all three regions. In the Germany region, the topic of "Racism and the Church" becomes a priority work. A joint list of seminar events in all three regions is published on this website.
