Revised European ecumenical charter adds migration as a formal church priority
German church bodies announced that the revised Charta Oecumenica gives migration, youth, peace, and technology new prominence.
A September 3 report said German churches would sign the revised Charta Oecumenica on September 15 after European churches adopted the continental text the previous November.
The revision is an institutional policy signal about priorities in European ecumenism. It does not demonstrate congregational implementation or measurable effects on migrant ministry.
