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.
