The growing relevance of Christian-democracy in Europe

newsletter1Monday 31 May 2010 16:10 From May 27 till May 29 the ECPM (European Christian Political Movement) celebrated it’s 6th annual congress and it’s first year as an European Party. These members, ranging from Ireland in the west till Armenia in the east, met each other these three days in Brussels to discuss ‘the relevance of Christian Politics in the 21st century’.

Lecturers like Gert-Jan Segers (director of Scientific Institute of ChristenUnie), Senator Rónán Mullen (Ireland), David Fieldsend (Care for Europe), and Benjamin Harnwell (Chairman of the Dignitatis Humanae Institute) addressed the participants about the urgent need for Christian-democracy in Europe and the need to unite as Christians to really be the salt and light in Europe and the whole world.

Besides these lectures, several ECPM members from post-Soviet countries discussed the need for more Christian values in there countries and how the ECPM could make a difference in countries like Belarus, Estonia, Moldova and Ukraine.

During the General Assembly on May 29, the ECPM members decided to launch a new project that would research and elaborate on the impact of Christianity on Europe and its institutions. Furthermore the members accepted the European Christian Political Youth Network as the official youth movement of the ECPM.

All participants also received the official yearbook that documents more than 20 projects in over 15 countries that the ECPM carried out in 2009!
