European Economic Summit Declaration

The aims of the European Economic Summit is to introduce new paradigms on finance and economy based on Christian tradition, faith and thought and to present transformational businesses as new models for poverty alleviation and sustainable solutions.

The European Economic Summit Declaration (see attached document) is an attempt to summarize some of the main concepts that came out of this meeting as well as other related ideas that we believe to be important. We also want to stimulate discussion within the business and economic communities, government and the Church. 

We are aware that it is impossible to summarize thousands of years of Christian thinking on these topics and their application to our 21st century world in a few short pages. We therefore present this document in all humility as our contribution to the ongoing discussion that will no doubt continue for the next several years.

We welcome your comments!
