Over 50 participants gathered for the ECEN Assembly in Brussels, drawn from 15 countries across Europe and representing denominations and organisations from many traditions (including minority churches, Catholic, Reformed, Lutheran and Orthodox traditions). This is the first Assembly since ECEN was established as an independent charity in 2025. The Assembly was chaired by Stephen Taylor of the Church of England with Claire des Mesnards from Eglise Protestante Unie de France as executive secretary.
