Speaking at a morning tea in Sydney this week to promote the Congress, Lindsay highlighted some of the other issues to be discussed at Capetown 2010.
"A new survey issued by the London School of Economics says that at the moment, 50 percent of the world lives in urban centres and by the year 2050, it will be 75 percent. Evangelicals will need to look at how we engage with Mission in an urbanised context and this will another theme of Capetown 2010," said Lindsay.
"Evangelicalism is fractured around the world – there are evidences of moral failure even amongst leaders, there has been a loss of clarity as to what constitutes the Gospel, what is evangelism, what is Mission, what is dialogue. There needs to be greater clarity in these areas," he said.
"We have seen the growth of prosperity theology in many parts of the world which has had a devastating impact on the Church of Christ, particularly in Latin America, Africa and Central Europe," Lindsay said.
"One of the features of prosperity theology is a focus on the notion that those who are 'switched on' followers of Jesus Christ will be free of suffering and will prosper, whilst neglecting to understand that the vast majority of believers in the world are rather poor and come from poorer backgrounds," said Lindsay.
Details of Capetown 2010 are still being finalised with 12 regional consultations being held to decide on the key issues to be discussed.
There will be places for 45 Australians to attend Capetown 2010 and details about the selection process are available on the www.capetown2010.com
