As part of the annual Prayer Week for Christian Unity held by the World Council of Churches, a round table on the “Challenges of Ecumenism today” hosted by the ‘Chapel for Europe - Chapel of the Resurrection' took place in the heart of the European Quarter of Brussels. The gathering was set to discuss the new approaches to Ecumenism and the joint role of churches in modern society, in the face of the movement’s apparent stagnation in recent years. Speakers included Dr. Katerina Pekridou, Executive Secretary for Theological Dialogue at Conference of European Churches, Revd Canon Jack McDonald of the Central Committee of the Anglican Church in the UK, Fr. Manuel Enrique Barrios Prieto, General Secretary of COMECE, and Pastor Johannes Reitze-Landau, of the All-Lutheran Church in Brussels. The panel was moderated by Fr. Bernd Günther SJ, director of the Chapel for Europe. The conference ended with a joint prayer and an informal get-together. A webstream of the evening is available here.
