European Fraternity
Membership
Engaged Christians should not stay alone. Membership is an invitation into friendship, formation and a network that holds.
Why join
Three reasons people come
Find support
This is not another action group adding responsibilities. It is a place of support: spiritual resourcing, intellectual nourishment, and a family that shares values, challenges and victories.
Believe in Europe's vocation
Europe is an old reality met today with mistrust and disinterest. The Fraternity holds to a vision of a confident, welcoming Europe, assuming its past and concerned for its future.
Meet the others
Each year the Fraternity gathers in a different European city, which is a rare chance to form lasting friendships across the continent and to resource spiritually, intellectually and physically.
The undertaking
The commitment
As a member of the European Fraternity, I pledge to:
Uphold the values of the Charter.
Lift up the Fraternity and its members in prayer.
Aid my fellow members when called upon, and always reply to any request, to the best of my abilities.
Take part in at least two activities of the Fraternity each year, in person, online, or through another engagement.
Exercise prudence in sponsoring new members worthy of the trust and confidence of the Fraternity.
Support the Fraternity and its actions in the way that best fits my abilities: time, competencies, donations.
The path
From first contact to admission
A first contact
Most people meet the Fraternity through a member they already know. If that is not your case, you are welcome to write to us.
Time to get acquainted
Membership grows out of a relationship, so we take our time over this part.
Admission
When both sides are ready, the candidate is invited to apply. Admission requires full agreement with the Charter.
Express your interest
Tell us about yourself
There is no public application form. Write a few lines about yourself, where you are, and what draws you to the Fraternity. Everything you send is treated in confidence and used only for this purpose.
If the form does not appear, you can write to us by e-mail instead.
