Unlike the first two assemblies, that of Sibiu will consist of several stops, starting from Rome and moving on through Wittemberg, the city of the Reform (24-27 January 2006), to arrive in 2007 in Sibiu, Romania, a country with an Orthodox majority. “Instead of big-scale assemblies – explained Giordano we preferred the idea of the Churches walking together through Europe, to involve as many people as we could in the process “. “It takes time added mgr. Amédée Grab, president of Ccee to understand the way the others pray and think. Our purpose is not to draw up a new document, but to share the spiritual lives of the others, and this involvement takes time. What is starting today is actually a pilgrimage”. The Roman meeting will end with a letter to the Churches, inviting the Christians of Europe to share the walk. “We invite said the Anglican Colin Williams, Secretary General of Kek all the Christians who live in Europe to organise meetings for meditating on the Sibiu affairs. Many of these are already on the agenda in Scandinavia, in Spain, in Italy. We hope that these meetings may create and shape a powerful message to Europe and to the world about how the light of Christ can light up the lives of the men of our times”. “We are living said the Metropolitan Bishop Gennadios di Sassima – in a Europe which is still looking for its Christian roots, its own identity, which is undergoing a crisis of moral and spiritual values. A Europe in which the Churches are divided, in which there is no hope. It is a Europe which needs some spiritual therapy. To this Europe, the Churches means to answer by saying that Christ is the light of hope for the sick, the poor, the unity seekers. This is a challenge for all the Churches of Europe".
