The Evangelical Social Congress ({{lang-de|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. Associated people- Otto Baumgarten
