Description
100 years ago, the ‘Malines Conversations’ ended. Precursor to ecumenism, then‐archbishop Cardinal Désiré‐Joseph Mercier (1851‐ 1926), in a friendly atmosphere, invited a few people to talks that explored the conditions for a reunion of the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches. The talks took place in Mechelen at the episcopal palace in 1921, 1923 and 1925. On the occasion of the centenary of the Malines Conversations, the Archdiocese of Malines‐Brussels is organizing an international academic congress in collaboration with the KU Leuven and UC Louvain, from Thursday 18 till Saturday 20 September. The congress language is English.
