Delegates from 20 countries across Europe have gathered at Croke Park Conference centre in Dublin today (Friday 10 May) for the annual “State of Europe Forum”.  Inspired by Robert Schuman’s vision for a “community of peoples deeply rooted in Christian values”, the forum explores economic, political, social, religious and environmental issues in Europe from a broadly Christian perspective. VOX magazine’s editor Ruth Garvey-Williams brings you this LIVE blog keeping you up to date with all the action throughout the day.
