The European Liberal Protestant Network
The ELPN was founded in 1998. It represents a closer co-operation of a number of liberal Christian groups in Europe which had already co-operated for a long period under the auspices of the International Association for Religious Freedom (IARF). The IARF itself was already founded in 1900.
The ELPN aims to bring together those who share in a liberal understanding of the Christian faith.
