Invitation letter

Amersfoort (The Netherlands), 9 March 2004

Dear Sir, Madam,

We kindly invite you to the conference of the European Christian Political Movement, titled Political cooperation in Europe, held 22-24 April 2004 at the head office of the ChristianUnion in Amersfoort, the Netherlands.

This conference is a follow-up meeting of the two international Christian conferences at Lakitelek, Hungary, which have been held in December 2002 and September 2003. Christian political parties and NGOs from more than 10 countries discussed new chances for Christian politics in Europe and Values for Europe. Both conferences ended with a Declaration on the common values and the participants founded the European Christian Political Movement to realise the principles and to be the framing network of cooperation. The Declaration can be read on

At the upcoming conference we would like to discuss the future of the ECPM and further political cooperation in Europe and the European Parliament. Please find enclosed the program and the registration form. We would like to welcome 2 or 3 representatives per party.

If you have any further questions, please contact Mr. Jan Paul Manni (+31 33 422 69 55, jpmanni@christenunie.nl). We hope we can welcome you in April.

On behalf of the Organising Committee.

Yours Sincerely,

Gerard Geijtenbeek
International Secretary ChristianUnion
