Europe's bishops are urging an EU body tasked with assessing the challenges and prospects facing the Union and its peoples not to forget the Churches.
In a letter dated 8 April and addressed to newly appointed members of the Executive Board of the Conference on the Future of Europe, the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE) and the Conference of European Churches (CEC) maintain “Churches have an important message and value to add” to the Conference.
