Revision of Charta Oecumenica

The Charta Oecumenica has played a crucial role in shaping the European ecumenical agenda for more than two decades. In 2022, CEC and the Catholic Council of European Bishops’ Conferences (CCEE) decided to revise this landmark document to ensure that it remains relevant in our current times. A joint CEC-CCEE Working Group is updating the document, considering the changing circumstances in European society and among Christians.
