On Tuesday 26th January, the Conseil de Dialogue/Dialoograad (the permanent consultation between the Prime Minister, the Minister of Justice and the recognised religions) met by Zoom chaired by Minister Van Quickenborne. This body normally meets every six months, but this meeting was in fact its first since the first Corona lockdown was announced in March 2020. The Chaplain-President represented the Anglican Church. On the agenda were the Covid-19 pandemic, the new charter agreed by the federal government and the recognised religions concerning fiscal transparency and independence, and the recent initiative made jointly by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of the Interior concerning the physical safety and security of places of worship.
