The spirituality of communion is highly important for the ecumenical process and the future of the faith in the 21st century. This conviction, backed up by experience, is shared by the 40 bishops, from 18 countries, from Australia to India, from Lebanon to Sweden, from Germany to Italy, and the Czech Republic, “friends of the Focolare Movement” of different Churches and cultural backgrounds, who have gathered in Prague for their 26th annual meeting. On September 23, which in Prague is “National Ecumenical Sunday”, the bishops will meet with religious and civil leaders and share their experience of living dialogue. As part of their programme they will also visit communities of the various Churches present in the city, to hear about their life, and their stories of times of repression, and persecution for practising their faith in public. The main theme of the meeting is, “My night has no darkness: towards a culture of the resurrection”. It is an invitation to look squarely at the symptoms of the cultural and collective “night” that affects a large part of the world today, including believers. They will also look at the many signs of life and hope, among which the recent ecumenical events in September in Sibiu (Romania) and in Stuttgart (Germany) in May. There will be many moments for sharing experiences among the bishops, and with representatives of the social economic and cultural world. These meetings are inspired by the spirituality of unity, characteristic of the Focolare Movement.
