The Lausanne-Orthodox consultation, gathered at St. Vlash monastery, Albania, was ‘invaded’ today by one hundred young people. At the invitation of the LOI 50 Orthodox and 50 Evangelical youth gathered to listen to Mr. Austin McCaskill of the Albanian Encouragement Project (ECP) and His Grace Bishop Angaelos of the Coptic Church (UK)

This was followed by lively discussion groups and a meal during which Orthodox and Evangelicals, young and older participants, mingled freely and expressed their hopes for the church of the future. The youth confessed that in recent years they have not met regularly together with other traditions and their desire to understand each other better.  In discussion groups before dinner the LOI participants reflected on their meeting with the youth and the place of younger people in the mission of God.
