The Evangelical Social Congress (German: Evangelisch-Sozialer Kongress ESK) was a social-reform movement of German evangelists founded in Whitsuntide in 1890.Various groups were united in the Congress although in the end the Congress failed to set forth a united programme of Christian socialism (more so because people like Friedrich Naumann and Adolf Stoecker would depart from the Congress).The Congress never carried a large membership and was only marginal compared to the Verein für Socialpolitik an organization that currently still exists.
