Participants Answers

Per Ewert is a scholar and the Director of the Clapham Institute in Sweden.

When did you trust Christ?

I have followed Christ my whole life, but I've come to trust him more and more by seeing his hand through hardships in life.

What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?

One defining moment was when I felt the calling to go into writing and apologetics, where I have served now for almost 20 years. Another was when other doors closed to me, and I could step into leadership at the Clapham Institute and also into deepened scholarship on secularization processes.

What do you hope to gain from participating?

Much is about inspiration and networking, which strengthens my work back home. It's quite a unique hub of teaching, networking, and inspiration for an Evangelical leader in Europe.

What is your ministry?

I lead the Clapham Institute. I'm also a scholar with a PhD on secularization and related topics. I also write articles and books, the last one is "The Masterpiece", about the Bible as the greatest piece of literature in human history

What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?

I have led the Clapham Institute since 2016, plus several informal leadership roles in the evangelical movement in Sweden, right now I am also the top candidate in my diocese for the election to the General Synod of the Lutheran Church of Sweden.

Why should someone invest in your ministry?

I am a national leader with a big impact in the world's arguably most secular nation. I have also co-led the Academic Network at the European Leadership Forum for the last two years.
