Visit of the Bishop of Leeds to Brussels

On 16 October, Bishop Robert and the Chaplain-President received a delegation from the Church of England in England led by the Bishop of Leeds, the Right Revd Nick Baines, who were spending the day in Brussels in connection with a report being written by the Bishop of Leeds on the future of the Church of England's relationship with Europe. Bishop Baines went on to meet Baron Frans van Daele of the European Commission, Metropolitan Athenagoras of Belgium, the Deputy British Ambassador to Belgium, the head of the German Protestant delegation in Brussels and the General Secretary of the Conference of European Churches. We hope that Bishop Nick received a good flavour of European Anglicanism and our various interfaces with European life and politics.
