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