Vienna -The power of the churches to integrate is being debated. Together with the Commission for Church and Society of the Conference of European Churches (CEC), the Community of Protestant Churches in Europe (CPCE) issued an invitation to a symposium in Vienna on 8 May on the occasion of the reconstitution of the CPCE South East Europe Regional Group.
Around fifty representatives from the CPCE member churches in South East Europe accepted the invitation, under the heading "European Integration and Neighbourhood Policy in South East Europe".
Dr. Erhard Busek, Special Co-ordinator of the stability pact for South East Europe, spoke on political developments. Because of the wars on the territory of former Yugoslavia, the whole region began a process of transformation only at a late stage.
