Presentations will cover topics including Where Now for Visible Unity?” “Living the Apostolic Faith Together,” “Triune Love as a Missiological Blueprint,” and more.

The event will promote reflection and dialogue by bringing together students from the University of Fribourg and students from the Ecumenical Institute at Bossey.

By involving students, the Fribourg colloquium seeks to broaden participation in reflecting on the significance of the Council of Nicaea for global Christianity and of its ongoing inspiration for Christian life and witness in the contemporary world.

Dr Andrej Jeftić, director of the WCC Faith and Order Commission, said that the colloquium offers a unique opportunity to engage both academic and youthful voices in the ecumenical journey. As we look toward the Sixth World Conference on Faith and Order, this event serves as a testing ground for key ideas and themes, inviting fresh perspectives and inspiring young people to actively participate in shaping our common ecumenical future,” he said. I am thankful to the Study Centre for Eastern Churches at the Ecumenical Institute in Fribourg, to Prof. Barbara Hallensleben and Dr Mihail Comãnoiu for facilitating and supporting this remarkable event."
