Churches Meet to Review Links with European Institutions

"Churches in Europe and Intercultural Dialogue" is the motto of this year's plenary meeting of the Church and Society Commission of the Conference of European Churches, currently taking place in Armenia.

At the invitation of the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church, the 25-member Commission and a number of guests and representatives from CEC associated organisations across 21 European countries have joined together in the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, near the capital city of Yerevan.

"We have chosen the main theme of this year's plenary meeting to reflect the process in the Council of Europe leading to a white paper on intercultural dialogue and because of the churches' preparations for the 2008 European Year on Intercultural Dialogue," said Rev Rüdiger Noll, Director of the Church and Society Commission and Associate General Secretary of CEC.
