Celebrating CEC's 50th anniversary

In 2009, the churches in Europe - members of CEC - are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Conference of European Churches. During the Assembly a day will be dedicated to celebration. At its last meeting, the Central Committee of CEC concluded that the Assembly as well as the Anniversary should be an occasion to look back and to celebrate as well as to look forward. You can also visit our Guestbook to send CEC anniversary greetings!
