“I think BCC has a natural place in the Christian community, and I feel that the attitudes I and we represent are something that is welcome in the Christian Council of Norway. We had a great trip to the Assembly with the other Norwegians, and we learned a lot about each other. It also gives us a greater respect for each other’s differences.” Ulrikke Andresen,participant at the Assembly.
“We want to be a force in the work that promotes Jesus’ name and teachings. It is very useful to get to know others who want to contribute to Christianity having good conditions in society, and we see that many Christians all over the world are doing important work for this purpose.”Berit Hustad Nilsen, Chair of the board in BCC Norway.
