General Secretaries of CCEE focus on Public testimony to faith
June 23, 2012: The reflections of the General Secretaries of Europe’s Bishops’ Conferences
on the theme of the “new evangelization” are to continue at their 40th
meeting scheduled for 29 June to 2nd July this year at Edinburgh’s Dynamic
Earth Conference Centre, revealed a Press release on Friday. The General Secretaries will reflect on the public testimony to faith in the world of politics, culture, the law and public opinion. Other themes on the General Secretaries’ agenda include discussion on: the Church’s financial systems; ecumenism in Europe, and the translation of the liturgical texts of the Catholic Church.
Last year, in Vilnius, the General Secretaries reflected on some specific elements of the new evangelisation, such as: the relationship between culture and the quality of faith; the spiritual life and ecclesial adherence; and, structures and charisms in the Church. This year, just a few months before the opening of the Synod of Bishops on the new evangelisation called by Pope Benedict XVI and scheduled to take place in October 2012 in the Vatican, the issue of public testimony of faith in European society will be tackled in the Conference, the Press communique further stated.
The Council of the Episcopal Conferences of Europe (CCEE) includes the 33 European Episcopal Conferences, represented by their Presidents, and the Archbishops of Luxembourg, the Maronite Archbishop of Cyprus, the Bishop of Chişinău and the Eparchial Bishop of Mukachevo.
