On 31 May, the Chaplain-President, in his capacity as Bishop Robert's adviser for EU affairs, attended a conference at COMECE, "Grounded in the present, skilled for the future", on how Churches and voluntary organisations can aid young Europeans to access the jobs-market by offering skills-training in areas which are ethically and environmentally coherent with human rights. As usual at such conferences, there was also the opportunity for useful talk and discussion with colleagues in the coffee-breaks.
