 „Europe lives in Timisoara” – So reads the invitation to the leaders of Movements and Communities of various Churches, who are meeting in the Romanian city this year. Timisoara, European Cultural Capital 2023, already tells many stories of ‘togetherness’: indeed, here different cultures meet in faith and life.

The event aims to highlight the ecumenical network’s call to unity through speeches and testimonies at the local and European level.

Six workshops will offer the opportunity to come into lively contact with the realities of the city: Orthodox spirituality, social hot spots, East-West relations, youth engagement, steps on the road to peace are some of the topics. Let us be guarantors of a Europe that lives from its Christian roots.

Timisoara is a place of hope. The two days are addressed to the current and future leadership of Movements and Communities, who wish to make a sign of hope:

  • Together, rather than against each other!
  • East and West come together!
  • Unity is possible!

As Communities and Movements we are ready to live our charism of unity in a new way and to “enter again into the rifts” (Ez 22:30) for Europe, the Churches and society. We are looking forward to seeing you!

“Highlights of unity”. Gerhard Proß and Lothar Penners recount 25 years of journey in Together for Europe. Through testimonies, reflections and memories, this volume shows how faith can transform differences into dialogue and build bridges of fraternity in the heart of Europe. It is not a chronicle, but an invitation to believe in the unifying power of the Gospel, capable of generating hope and spiritual and social renewal.

What does Together for Europe have to do with a flea market? A legitimate question. The initiative originates from a quote by Helmut Niklas: ‘Where the Holy Spirit is, there the Eternal Father opens his hands.’
