ArmInfo. From September 15-17, the regular Conference of European Churches (CEC) was held in Nyborg, Denmark, under the title "Towards Christian Citizenship in Europe." Armenia was represented at the event by Bishop Tiran Petrossian, Patriarchal Delegate for Central Europe and Scandinavia. This was reported by the Chancellery of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin.
According to the source, the conference was organized by the National Council of Christian Churches of Denmark in close cooperation with the Conference of European Churches. Representatives of national church councils in Europe and member churches of the CEC participated. The important issue of developing and strengthening Christian citizenship in the context of contemporary Europe was the subject of in-depth discussion. Bishop Tigran Petrosyan delivered a paper at the conference entitled "Towards Christian Citizenship in Europe: Reflections from Armenia," in which he presented the Armenian Church's rich experience and vision in promoting justice, dignity, peace, and democratic values.
The choice of venue for the meeting was also symbolic: Nyborg is one of the important centers of the Danish Reformation, where the peacemaking initiatives of the Conference of European Churches began in 1959.
The goal of this meeting in Nyborg was to strengthen cooperation among European churches, give new impetus to their mission in the face of contemporary challenges, and promote the understanding and practice of Christian citizenship based on the principles of justice, freedom, and dignity.
