European Grassroots Communities Meeting

Collectif Européen des Communautés de Base

Lyon (France) -14,15,16 october 2022

Lyon doesn't feel that far away and of course I go by train. About 12 noon from home and really arrived at the address at 9pm. Including finding the Metro and walking. We stayed in a big Don Bosco house and overlooked Lyon with a Roman amphitheatre on our doorstep. We could have done worse. Little do I know then that the return journey will be fraught with major obstacles. There is another meal waiting for us that we can heat up ourselves in a microwave oven. So it's good to get home. We are 7 delegates (France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, but actually 8 because Belgium is of course in two,

It would, however, be a grave error for this misfortune to paralyse the movements for revision of life, for conversion and for missionary innovation. Pope Francis is the first to give the example of pursuing simultaneously

Lyon voelt niet zo ver weg en natuurlijk ga ik met de trein. Ongeveer 12.00 van huis en om 21.00 echt gearriveerd op het adres. Inclusief zoeken van de Metro en wandeling. We bivakkeren in een groot huis van Don Bosco en kijken uit over Lyon met voor de deur een Romeins amfitheater. We hadden het slechter kunnen treffen. Ik weet dan nog niet dat de terugreis met grote hindernissen zal verlopen. Er staat nog een maaltijd klaar die we zelf kunnen opwarmen in een magnetron. Goed thuiskomen dus. We zijn met 7 gedelegeerden

Since EN-RE participates in the Committee NGOs as Advocates of Gender Equality and Women's Rights, in which one of the co-chairs is Ms. Bettina HAHNE of Soroptimist International, we attach the link to Soroptimist International Statement: The Rights of Women & Girls
