The Ecumenical Week in Stockholm
The Commemoration of the 100 year remembrance of the Ecumenical Conference in Stockholm 1925 will be held 18-24 Augusti 2025 with focus on peace and fellowship.
This Ecumenical week will link thematically with the focus on peace from the Stockholm Conference where the churches’ calling is, together with all other initiatives for good in society, oppose divisions, polerisation and war. To attain credibility and a just peace, there needs to be a diversity of initiatives: peace between countries, peace between people, peace between different faiths and religions, peace with creation and peace with God.
Various events will be arranged such as lectures, church services, concerts and open-air festivals with many guests from different churches around the world invited. See the preliminary programme below.
