Creating spaces for relationships and dialogue in Europe: to bear witness to reciprocity between nations and to the dynamism of love, rooted in the Gospel. We plan our journey toward \u201cCalled to unity\u201d, our November 2023 appointment in Timisoara (Romania).<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Europe seen and ‘lived’ today from the perspective of Christian communities; the challenge of the many polarisations, the scourge of war at the heart of the continent. Many topics were discussed at the two-day meeting of the Steering Committee of Together for Europe<\/em> (TfE<\/em>) which was held in Munich from 22 to 24 March.<\/p>\n

Faced with Europe’s enormous and manifold cultural, social and political challenges, the Christian communities of TfE<\/em> start afresh from the principles of reciprocity and dialogue, as Herbert Lauenroth of the Steering Committee emphasised when he outlined what path to tread in this ‘post-secular’ era: “(…) we must enter the frontier spaces, together; witnessing Christ in our midst, in the midst of the world\u201d. He went on to describe the need in Europe for places where conflict is welcomed as a constructive and even a unifying part, where the encounter between people and with God takes place; where that reciprocity that does not abolish differences, but redeems them, can be found.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalled to unity\u201d: toward Timisoara 2023<\/strong><\/h5>\n

This year Timisoara (Romania) is the European Capital of Culture, and the Roman Catholic bishop there, Bishop Josef-Csaba Pal, invited TfE<\/em> to bring its testimony as bridge-builders between Christians of different Churches.<\/p>\n

Work will now begin on the programme for the event. Margaret Karram, President of the Focolare Movement, proposed to make visible the ‘fragments of fraternity’ that are already in place in the city and make them come alive for the participants. A meeting, therefore, that highlights what the various groups, parishes and associations do for the city and for those who suffer most. “Today’s imperative is dialogue, encounter, ‘togetherness'”, concluded Margaret Karram. And J\u00e9sus Mor\u00e1n, Co-President of the Focolare Movement, stated: “In this way, the TfE<\/em> event in Timisoara will sow seeds of hope, of brotherhood that is not only European but universal”.<\/p>\n
