Conference of European Churches Meets in Geneva

The Presidium of the Conference of European Churches is currently meeting in Cartigny Geneva, at the Centre de Rencontres of the Protestant Church of Geneva, to discuss the progress of the organisation in areas including European migration and youth.

The 10-member Presidium serves as the executive of the 40-member Central Committee of CEC and will receive reports on recent and future activities of CEC from the General Secretary, the Venerable Colin Williams.

Reports will be given by the different working areas including the Church and Society Commission, which deals with European affairs, the theological commission 'Churches in Dialogue', and the Churches' Commission for Migrants in Europe, an independent body which will soon merge with CEC.
