Final message for "Together for Europe 2007"

Gathered in Stuttgart from all over Europe, representing more than 240 Christian Movements and Communities, we want to bear witness to the continual growth of a new communion among us, a fruit that only the Spirit of God can give.

In this communion we see more clearly our responsibility in facing Europe’s challenges today: to be a strong social and cohesive force within Europe's cultural pluralism. The awareness that our differences constitute a richness, and are not a reason for fear or division, can become a sign of hope wherever human coexistence is endangered.
