Briefing Meetings take place four times a year.
We usually have one or two invited speakers to introduce a specific topic of current concern, followed by questions, breakout discussions and contributions from members. Briefings are well prepared presentations that explore topics at considerable depth.
In 2022 we introduced Panel Sessions, which are shorter meetings that convene practitioners and academics for very short contributions and plenary discussions on topics of immediate concern in rapidly changing contexts.
Meetings take place on ZOOM. Use the link to register below.

Faith in Europe Briefing: The Legacy of Jacques Delors – Laurens Hogebrink and Frank-Dieter Fischbach
Laurens Hogebrink is author of Europe’s Heart and Soul: Jacques Delors’ Appeal to the Churches.
Frank-Dieter is the recently appointed General Secretary of the Conference of European Churches.
Laurens will introduce the vision of Delors in the late 1980s/early 1990s and how the churches perceived that vision.
This will be followed by Frank-Dieter looking at the contemporary scene in relation to Delors’ vision, how far has or hasn’t it been achieved, is it still capable of being achieved in today’s setting?
