Nine key words, including "unity", "testimony", "Creation", "peace”, “justice”, “migration”, encompass the recommendations of the young delegates from all over Europe that they expressed today at the plenary session of the III European Ecumenical Assembly in Sibiu. The message from the youth, received with warm applause, proposes a number of factual commitments and brave positions. “Unity”, for example, “does not mean standardisation they recall , unity can exist in diversity”. As to “Testimony”, the youth ask the Churches to "stop competing with each other and start truly living the Gospel”, because "we do not have to testify to the dynamics of power of our Churches, but to Christ”. “Peace” instead requires commitment to fight "the trade and manufacture of arms" and the establishment of a European Agency for Peace. “As they belong to society write the youth under the item "Justice" , the Churches too are parties to the system of injustice”. Hence the commitment to "raise their voices against oppressive migratory polices and the supremacy of the industrialised countries in global interaction, and to promote equal opportunities in education”.
