SUMMARY:HOW TO DISAGREE WELL - Scriptural Reasoning\, a Dialogue Between Faiths
DESCRIPTION:A series of three conferences on the difficult journey of HOPE and how to transform conflict.\nIn English.\nThis series aims to facilitate a deep encounter between faith and some leaders involved in the public and political sphere.\nFrom the heart of Europe\, we want to contribute to a more sustainable peace in today’s polarized society\, not through seeking shallow common ground\, but through better understanding our differences – learning to disagree well.\nFollowing the “Rose way” we invite you to navigate change and transform conflict so together we can re-imagine peace.\nThis is a joint project of Rose Castle Foundation and the Chapel for Europe. \n♦2nd Conference – Tuesday 11.02.2025 – 19:00\nHOW TO DISAGREE WELL – SCRIPTURAL REASONING\, A DIALOGUE BETWEEN FAITHS\nInspired by the World Interfaith Harmony Week\, we want to introduce this fresh approach to modern day inter-faith dialogue\, which puts scripture at the heart of the conversation. Unlike some forms of inter-faith engagement\, it is not about seeking agreement but rather sharing our very different scriptural texts to address a shared contemporary challenge or issue. The aim is to discover a better quality of disagreement\, so we can collaborate for God’s sake as we seek repair of a broken world.\nGuests for a living practice:\n– Rose Castle Foundation – Moderation by Canon Sarah Snyder\n– Prof. Stephan Goltzberg – Profesor and researcher at ULB on comparative legal reasoning\, law and religion.\n– Prof. Nick Adams – Professor of Philosophical Theology – University of Birmingham – (UK)\n– Prof Dr Lejla Demiri – Chair of Islamic Doctrine at the Center for Islamic Theology\, University of Tubingen (Germany). \n♦3rd Conference – Tuesday 13.05.2024 – 19:00\nHOW TO DISAGREE WELL –TOOLS TO HELP US NAVIGATE THROUGH CHANGE\, CHAOS AND CONFLICT\nWe are facing heightened change and conflict across Europe once again\, with communities facing destructive division/polarization. How can we be wiser leaders across these societal divides\, without compromising on what we believe? Rose Castle Foundation works with outstanding young leaders\, equipping them as “reconcilers” across some of the world’s deepest divides. Together they share their insights from collaborating across substantial differences in political and social contexts. \n– Rose Castle Foundation – Moderation by Canon Sarah Snyder\n– M. Ahmed Haykel Gaafar – director of REspect!\, a reporting portal countering hate speech in Germany\n– M. David Hazan – serves as a Hazan at the Norrice Lea Synagogue in London and training at the Rabbinic Academy.\n– M. Jean-Louis Hanff – Member of the Christian Democrat party in Belgium “Les Engages” and member of the Belgian CVX – Christian life Community \nThe 1st Conference was held on Tuesday 21.01.2025 – 19:00: HOW TO DISAGREE WELL – CHRISTIAN RECONCILIATION\nYou can watch the live-stream. Here is the link. \nDuring the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity we aimed to discuss Rose Castle’s project “Christian Wisdom of Reconciliation” based on the 12 Habits of reconciliation for fostering Ecumenical Dialogue.\nReconciliation seeks healing of what is broken. It recognizes all is not well\, and repair is needed.\nThe 12 Habits are practical characteristics emerging from decades observing “reconcilers” on the front lines of violent conflict. They are rooted within the Christian faith\, whilst also accessible to anyone seeking to be a reconciling presence within their context. Click here to find out more.\nGuests on “How they understand Christian Unity in practice – John 17″\n– Rose Castle Foundation – Moderation by Canon Sarah Snyder\n– Rev. Dr. Sorin Șelaru – Representing the Orthodox Churches to the EU\n– Fr Manuel Barrios Prieto – General Secretary of COMECE\n– Rev. Frank Dieter Fischbach – General Secretary of CEC \n

SUMMARY:Retreat in Daily Life during Lent

SUMMARY:"Hear My Cry" awareness campaign
DESCRIPTION:The Chapel for Europe invites you to a special presentation and discussion on the urgent issue of child sexual exploitation—a grave violation of human rights affecting millions of children worldwide. \nThis crisis\, often overlooked in public discourse\, continues to grow at an alarming rate\, particularly in developing countries. It includes trafficking\, online sexual abuse\, child prostitution\, and child pornography: fueled by poverty\, weak legal systems\, corruption\, and the increasing reach of the internet. The rising number of children trapped in exploitation has devastating and lasting consequences on their lives. Victims/ survivors of sexual abuse are often deeply traumatized\, and their capacity to thrive severely impacted. \nThe Chapel for Europe wants to support as we raise awareness and explore ways to take action in protecting the most vulnerable. Join us as we talk to Sheila Guico Mally and René Mally about this hidden crisis of child sexual exploitation specifically in the Philippines. Although the Philippines are the world´s epicenter for online sexual exploitation of minors\, hardly any facilities for trauma healing exist. \nResponding to this dramatic situation\, Attorney Sheila quit her job as prosecutor\, re-trained as a therapist and established the Balik Kaanyag Trauma Healing Center (Blossom of Life).  Together with her team\, she now offers hope and healing to sexually abused children in Mindanao\, Philippines. \nThe Balik Kaanyag Trauma Healing Center (Blossom of Life) is a Christian non-profit organization that aims to care for\, heal\, and empower children victims of abuse\, especially survivors of sexual abuse. \nChild sexual exploitation is a global emergency that demands urgent action. By speaking up\, supporting survivors\, and holding perpetrators accountable\, we can help create a world where every child is safe\, protected\, and free to live without fear. \nOur special guests: \nSheila Guico Mally: lawyer\, prosecutor of perpetrators of online sexual exploitation of children\, trauma therapist\, founder and head of Balik Kaanyag Trauma Healing Center in Villanueva (Misamis Oriental)\, Philippines. \nRené Mally: economist with 30 years of experience in international relations and poverty reduction in Europe\, Africa\, Latin America\, Asia\, and the Pacific\, and a longtime friend of the Chapel of Europe. \nFor more information: http://balikkaanyag.org/ and on their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/BalikKaanyagBlossomofLife

SUMMARY:Mothers\, role models of faith - An interfaith dialogue
DESCRIPTION:The love and guidance of a mother undeniably shape our perspective on life\, while their nurturing support helps us grow in faith. A mother’s ability to impart faith is a powerful influence that guides us through our journey\, serving as a beacon of hope and strength. \nThrough stories\, prayers\, and words of wisdom\, mothers empower their children to dream\, believe in themselves\, and overcome life’s challenges. A mother’s faith is characterized by an unshakable love – a love that transcends fear and nurtures resilience. \nWe are so excited to introduce you to four incredible mothers from diverse religious backgrounds. These amazing women will be sharing their journeys as faith-filled transmitters of faith and how their beliefs play a crucial role in raising their children: \n\nNehama Uzan – Programme Director – European Jewish Community Centre\nJoëlle Troeder-Leblond – Co- chair for Soka Gakkai International Belgium with responsibility for women’s activities (Buddhist)\nMari Sol Pérez Guevara – Poet\, author of the book “Spirituality and burnout”\, spiritual coach and Theology student. Catholic.\nTiar Rkia – President of the European Women of Faith Network (Muslim)\n\nFacilitator : Sabina González Vilas – Program and Interfaith Dialogue Manager at the Chapel for Europe

SUMMARY:Retreat in Daily Life during Lent
DESCRIPTION:Lent is a time for reflection\, prayer\, and spiritual growth—an opportunity to reorient our lives and strengthen our relationship with God. The Chapel invites you to a Retreat in Daily Life that will help you deepen your spirituality and grow in the experience of God’s closeness. \nThis retreat is based on Ignatian spirituality and will focus on the Credo—formulated at the Council of Nicaea (325 ad)\, 1\,700 years ago. The Credo is still the basic summary of the Christian faith in all churches today\, it will guide us as we reflect on our daily lives during Lent. The retreat  will include a personal daily prayer\, for which instructions will be given\, a prayerful review of the day and weekly sharing in the group. \n\nStart Date: 6 March at 19:30 in the crypt\nWeekly Meetings on Thursdays at 19:30 until 10 April in the crypt\n\nTo register or for more information\, please contact Fr.
