Together for Europe
Together for Europe brings together Christian Movements and Communities – over 300 in number spread across the Continent – belonging to different Churches. While preserving their independence, collectively they form a network to pursue shared goals, each bringing a contribution specific to their own charism.
A reality rooted in strong shared experiences; Movements and Communities – just as different from each other as European cultures, languages and regions – establish relationships of communion and fellowship in which full respect of mutual diversity is maintained.
Together for Europe wants to respond to a need for a “culture of reciprocity” in which individuals and peoples welcome and get to know each other and reconcile differences with mutual respect and support.
Together for Europe held large European events in Stuttgart in 2004 and 2007 and in Munich in 2016; with another event taking place in 2012 across 152 European cities, with Brussels as a focal point. A true, small-scale model of Europe united and alive; while many of its activities are carried out locally, a broad vision of being part of a globalised world is maintained throughout.
Together for Europe seeks to meet the key challenges of the Continent putting the charisms of Movements and Communities at the service of humanity. This gives rise to numerous initiatives which promote reconciliation and peace, the safeguarding of life and creation, a just economy, solidarity with the poor and the marginalized, the family, the good of cities and brotherhood in Europe.
