Program 2025
Leading in the Age of Misleading:
The role of Churches in countering Disinformation
In an era shaped by misinformation and artificially generated content, the need for moral clarity and truthful leadership has never been greater. The ECIC 2025 conference will explore how churches can act as beacons of truth, compassion, and integrity in a world increasingly influenced by false narratives. The conference invites communicators, media professionals and theologians to reflect on the communication and pastoral responsibilities of churches in confronting disinformation and fostering communities rooted in truth.
More information on speakers will come further down the road.
We will have some Keynotes as well as enough time to get to know each other and learn from each others experiences.
