V Ecumenical Conference on Protestant Spirituality

At the beginning of May the Vth Ecumenical conference dedicated to the spirituality of the Churches of the Reform was held in Bose. It was promoted and organized, together with out community, by the Protestant and Catholic theological faculties of Strasbourg, the faculty of Catholic theology of Lyons, the Federation of faculties of theology of Romansch Switzerland, and the Waldensian faculty of theology in Rome on the theme “Repentance, conversion, reconciliation”.

The conference, with the active participation of professors and students of those faculties as speakers and listeners, as well as with the participation of some brothers and sisters of our community, dealt with the theme of conversion and repentance from the Biblical, historical, theological, liturgical, and ethical point of view, without omitting its important ecumenical implications, thanks to the diverse confessions represented among the participants as well as the presence of six members (among them br. Matthias) of the Dombes Group, the well-known ecumenical group founded by abbé Couturier.
