Religious Freedom

CCEE is conscious of the situation of Christians in Europe and the need to defend the moral and ethical values which are at the root of our culture. Through various meetings CCEE promotes a profound reflection on the situation of these Christians and the need to enhance the presence of religion in the public sphere.

Along with representatives of other religions and the different European institutions, CCEE promotes the importance of Christian values and works to protect the religious freedom of Christian communities, encouraging the joyful witness of Christians on the Continent.

In addition, CCEE collaborates closely with the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe, which each year presents a report to the CCEE Plenary Assembly. The report describes various acts of intolerance and discrimination suffered by groups of Christians on the Continent.

Below is a collection of documents, meetings and press releases relating to the theme of Freedom of Religion.
