The eyes of the world are today on the Arab Republic of Egypt, specifically on the Papal Logos Center in Wadi El Natrun, where the global Ecumenical family is gathering to Pray and celebrate together the 1700th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council in Nicaea in 352.
This historic event, organized by the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches (WCC) under the title "Where now for visible unity?", is taking place from October 24 to 29, 2025, and hosted by the Coptic Orthodox Church.
More than 400 attendees from Church leaders, Religious and Ecumenical leaders, and even youth, from around the world are participating in the conference’ sessions and delved into the various topics and issues it raises about the Council of Nicaea and the importance of Christian unity.
This unity is truly embodied by the participants, with their diverse traditions, the richness of their Churches, and the experiences they share in an atmosphere of fraternity, joy, and determination to continue cooperation, solidarity, and working together.
The Papal Logos Center is fully prepared to host the participants and offer them an oasis of faith and hope in the land of Egypt. An oasis that aims to provide educational and training programs, organize conferences, workshops, and diverse cultural events, and promote Ecumenical awareness through various meetings and dialogues.
Everyone works tirelessly to ensure the success of the conference and the smooth running of its activities.
The service team handles all on-site preparations and necessary procedures to provide guests with tangible and noticeable hospitality, generosity, and love.
The team is comprised of youth who have left their families and daily concerns behind to offer their full potential, experience, and talents.
Not to mention the media team's efforts, which culminated in a media partnership between the World Council of Churches, the Middle East Council of Churches, and the Coptic Orthodox Church. This was done to reflect the ecumenical spirit experienced by the participants in word and deed, affirming the necessity of Christian unity.
Everyone at the Logos Center experiences the joy of meeting and serving the Ecumenical movement, celebrating human fraternity and love that build bridges and bridge distances.
