Message of the EFECW Eighth General Assembly, Loccum 2010
Participation and Responsibility - In the Path of Justice is Life
166 women from 27 countries of Europe, from different national and confessional backgrounds, from all walks of life and all age groups, met at the Evangelische Akademie Loccum, Germany, August 23 - 29, 2010, for the Eighth Assembly of the Ecumenical Forum of European Christian Women. EFECW had made a special effort to enable young women to participate in the Assembly, thus initiating a generation change, and taking the first steps into a next phase of ecumenical cooperation and community building among women in Europe. The young women seized this opportunity and took an active role in the assembly.
We are profoundly grateful to the German branch of the Forum for excellent local preparations and warm welcome and to the Akademie Loccum for providing staff time, hospitality and assistance in many matters.
