“Together for Europe: Encounter, Reconciliation, Future”

Nov 6, 2015

An international gathering of Christian Movements and Communities in Munich, Germany

The event will include a Conference (June 30-July 1, 2016) and a public outdoor rally on the following day (July 2, 2016) that will send a strong message of hope. Through testimonies, prayers and songs, the event would like to show that unity is possible and that reconciliation is the door to unity in diversity. This has been the experience of the Communities and Movements from many Churches who participate in Together for Europe for more than 15 years. Unity is possible. Living the Gospel of Jesus Christ can overcome the divisions amongst individuals, populations, parties, cultures and even Churches and non-denominational groups. The Seven Yeses offers a summary of the commitments of Together for Europe 2016. Event Program

Klaus Hemmerle (1929-1994), Bishop of Aachen (Aquisgrana, Germany), was an outstanding theologian and philosopher who gave his contribution to the doctrinal understanding of the charism of unity. Through these words, he draws us into the mystery of Easter and the Resurrection of Christ, inviting us to immerse ourselves fully in this moment and see it with fresh eyes.

The Cross, a Treasure Chest of Communion

The Cross, a Treasure Chest of Communion

Jesus’ death on the cross reveals a man so deeply rooted in a relationship with the Father that he is able to trust Him completely, up to the very end. And it is for this reason that Calvary becomes the precious vessel in which all of God’s love for us is gathered. Igino Giordani’s words invite us to make room for silence and attentive listening, so that we can begin this path of contemplation, redemption, and communion with God and with one another.
