MISSIOLOGY VII. Culture and Missions The First International Congress on World Evangelization brought together evangelical leaders to Lausanne, Switzerland into discuss issues related to evangelism. From this meeting came the Lausanne Covenant, a declaration to be more intentional about evangelizing the world. The Second International Congress on World Evangelization (also known as Lausanne II) was held in Manila in 1989. A number of occasional papers have been developed by leading evangelicals working in conjunction with the Lausanne Covenant. The Willowbank Report is one of occasional papers prepared by the Lausanne Congress. This report, prepared by recognized leaders in world evangelization, examines Gospel and Culture. Some of the primary points presented in the report of Gospel and Culture are given below, together with some additional ideas on this topic.
