  • Opening of the Exhibition-Laboratory: “If you leave, you take the Trinity with you”

    Featured
    Chapel for Europe Rue Van Maerlantstraat 22-24, Brussels, Belgium

    Opening of the Exhibition- Laboratory “If you leave, you take the Trinity with you” The Council of Nicaea and the origin of Knowledge as Relation In occasion of the celebration of 1700 years since the First Council of Nicaea. The exhibition aims to help us decisively take a new path, as expressed in a quote attributed to Saint Gregory of Nazianzus when he was stopped at the gates of the city “If you leave, you take the Trinity with you.” Those who were leaving should carry the Trinity (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) in their hearts and lives. The Trinity is not just a theological concept but a present reality to be experienced and incarnated into the world. In Nicaea I, the Trinity is understood in its fascinating tension between knowledge and relationship, originated by a  happening when Saint Spyridon of Tremithus,  Bishop of Cyprus, performed a miracle involving a brick to demonstrate the Holy Trinity. It revealed itself to the listeners in its three elements of water, earth, and fire while remaining one. It is an eye-opener not only for the originality with which the Trinity can become creatively and concrete vividly in the world, but also […]

  • Photography exhibition: ‘the Faces behind the cases’

    Chapel for Europe Rue Van Maerlantstraat 22-24, Brussels, Belgium

    Eurodiaconia invites you to the Chapel for Europe for the photography exhibition ‘the Faces behind the cases’. The campaign ‘the Faces behind the cases’ combines evocative photographic portraits of women who have found themselves on the move – taken by Yulia Dobrynina – with first-hand narratives from the women themselves. This is a member-led campaign sharing the stories of five women navigating a completely new social and labour reality, reflecting on their daily struggles to find their way. The event aims to platform their voices, challenge stereotypes, highlight systemic barriers, and celebrate the resilience and contributions of women on the move in our societies. Along the way, we highlight Eurodiaconia members’ work in ensuring newcomers feel welcomed and included as soon as they arrive, not only to access services, but to find space to heal, connect, and build meaningful relationships within their new communities. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Donal Brady. The exposition will be showcased at the Chapel for Europe until November 30, 2025, during the Chapel's opening hours: Mondays through Thursdays, 12:00 to 14:00.

  • Photo exhibition: An exploration of Christian places of worship in Belgium

    Chapel for Europe Rue Van Maerlantstraat 22-24, Brussels, Belgium

    Photography exhibition: History, aesthetics and communities. An exploration of Christian places of worship in Belgium. What is a Christian place of worship in Belgium? This exhibition seeks to answer this seemingly simple question. Taking a historical and ecumenical perspective, and examining photographs (reproductions of Belgian churches, monasteries and abbeys) and pieces of liturgical furniture, the exhibition explores the diversity of Christian worship through the spaces that host it. Although Belgium is a country (formerly part of the Netherlands) where religious iconography became confessional at an early stage and was used as a weapon of identity during the Protestant reforms, it has also been the heart of institutional Europe since the mid-20th century, making it a cosmopolitan observatory that is particularly representative of the diversity of Christianity and its churches since the early modern period. In the light of Belgian history, the exhibition questions and analyses the involvement of architectural aesthetics and communities in the definition and fulfillment of Christian worship, from the turmoil of the Reformation (which led to new relationships with space and images of worship among Christians) to the present day, where the aesthetic importance of the place of worship as a building may be diminished or even […]
