On 16 and 17 April 2026 in Spital am Pyhrn (Austria), Together for Europe<\/em> was invited to help shape the agenda for the \u2018Round Table\u2019.<\/strong> Even during the first round of discussions, in which we shared with one another the spiritual focal points and talents present in our communities, we saw the richness they contain and how this becomes a source of fruitfulness for society.<\/p><\/p>\n\n When Fr Heinrich Walter<\/strong> of the Sch\u00f6nstatt Movement spoke about his experience with Together for Europe<\/em>, of which he has been a member since the very beginning, there was a palpable sense of joy among the 60 or so participants.<\/p><\/p>\n\n Following a brief but very intense evening of prayer, the celebrations marking Johannes Fichtenbauer\u2019s<\/strong> 70th birthday highlighted his varied, steadfast and fruitful work for Christian unity.<\/p><\/p>\n\n With the Easter message \u201cPeace be with you\u201d from Bishop Hermann Glettler of Innsbruck,<\/strong> the diocesan bishop responsible for the \u201cRound Table\u201d at the Austrian Bishops\u2019 Conference, we began the second day in high spirits.<\/p><\/p>\n\n A number of examples of the activities carried out by Together for Europe<\/em> in Austria (Carinthia, Styria, Tyrol, Vienna) and Slovakia contributed to a fruitful exchange of experiences.<\/p><\/p>\n\n Herbert Lauenroth,<\/strong> of the Focolare Movement, spoke about the key aspects of unity among Christian communities, including: God gathers his people together. He has torn down the walls. We are on a journey towards freedom and communion. This sometimes requires taking the risk of leaping like a trapeze artist, trusting that there is someone ready to catch me. And furthermore: I should not stop at the image I have formed of the other.<\/p><\/p>\n\n The young adults\u2019 testimonies highlighted just how much they value freedom and diversity in Europe, and how aware they are that we must do something about this<\/p>\n\n
