Religious summit in Gniezno discusses united Europe

Over the coming weekend over 500 intellectuals, clergymen and politicians from Poland and abroad will gather in Gniezno to discuss their visions of a future united Europe. "Europe is a community the creation of which has not yet finished. We want to look at the process of integration from the broader perspective," said Gniezno metropolitan archbishop and host of the meeting, Henryk Muszynski. Michal Drozdek, from the summit organization committee said, "Polish Catholics should not limit themselves to discussion on the level of direct subsidies, but should think more deeply about the meaning of a united Europe." The summit is to show what Christians can offer the EU and how they want to shape it. The organizers aim to hold such meetings every year and make Gniezno a center of European Christianity.
