Focolare Movement

Together for Europe

Apr 15, 2007

A european event, promoted by more than 180 Christian Movements and Communities of different Churches, in Stuttgart (Germany) on May 12, 2007

 More than 11,000 people, from all over Europe, will come together at the Hanns Martin Schleyer Halle. The event will be linked by satellite with simultaneous meetings in many European cities. It is an event that testifies to something new in European history; a journey of fellowship which is growing all the time, among movements, communities and associations of various Churches, that stretches like a network across the whole continent from the Atlantic to the Urals. It aims to offer to Europe the experience of a “people”, a foretaste of unity lived in diversity. In the midst of the social, cultural, political and spiritual challenges that Europe faces at this time, “Together for Europe 2007” aims to witness, above all through experience, to the continual light that comes from living the Gospel in various situations: in the family; in cities that are increasingly multicultural and multifaith; in economics; in politics; with the poor and “new poor”; and in ecology. The meeting “Together for Europe” will be preceded and prepared by the Congress “TOGETHER, ON THE WAY”, for leaders and their fellow workers, from the movements and communities. It will also take place in Stuttgart, from May 10-11, 2007

On the morning of 10th August, the earthly journey of Dr. Kala Acharya ended. She was a deeply committed Hindu who was engaged in interreligious dialogue, and had a profound relationship with Chiara Lubich.
In a letter expressing her condolences, Margaret Karram, President of the Focolare Movement wrote, “With her spiritual sensitivity and her great human depth, she helped our Movement to understand every more fully the universal dimension of Chiara’s charism. With discretion, expertise and passion, she accompanied us in re-reading many of our founder’s insights from new perspectives”.
