The presidents of the Conference of European Churches (CEC) and the Council of European Bishops’ Conferences (CCEE) presented the revised Charta Œcumenica to His Holiness Pope LEO XIV during a private audience at the Vatican on 6 November 2025.
Charta Oecumenica has played a crucial role in shaping the European ecumenical agenda. CEC and CCEE are now revising this landmark document to make it relevant in our current times.
"The Local Impact of the Charta Oecumenica – The current stage of the evaluation process" is a document prepared for the 2018 Novi Sad Assembly. CEC conducted the study in 2017, evaluating the reception of Charta Oecumenica, and its impact on the life of the churches in Europe and beyond.
The year 2021 marked the 20th Anniversary of the landmark document Charta Oecumenica. “We reaffirm together and in a spirit of unity our commitment to witness to Christ as our Saviour and to his promise of a transformed life in the power of the Holy Spirit.”
The Charta Oecumenica is a joint document of CEC and the Council of European Bishops’ Conferences (CCEE). It was signed by the presidents of the two organisations in 2001 and seeks to preserve and develop fellowship among churches. The Charta is available in English, Czech, French, German, and Russian.
