On 25 May, the Chaplain-President, in his role as Bishop Robert's adviser for EU affairs, represented the Anglican Church at an event during a meeting of the Council of the Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland, which was convening in Brussels. Pastor Dr Annette Kurschus, president of the Protestant Church of Westphalia and vice-president of the Council of the EKD, gave a fascinating lecture on the current state of European politics and Church life, which was followed by a buffet supper.
