The Plenary Assembly, which discussed the theme of Church-State relations, decided, in the light of changes that have taken place in the twenty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, to draw up a message which witnesses to how faith in Jesus Christ can give birth to a clear outlook full of hope. The participants adopted a message entitled:

"Europe, have courage. 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall: rediscovering the impetus, a hope to proclaim." To be downloaded at: http://www.ccee.ch/ressourcen/download/20091003184837.doc
