Fête du Roi / Koningsdag

On 15 November, the Chaplain-President was honoured to represent the Anglicans of Belgium at the annual King's Day celebrations, first with the other chefs de cultes at the Te Deum in the Catholic cathedral in Brussels, then at the special session of the Belgian House of Representatives and Senate, which this year had the theme of Diplomacy. Speeches from the President of the House of Representatives, the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister and the President of the Senate were complemented by a simulation by the students of MUN Society Belgium of a United Nations debate on the radicalisation of young people by extremist groups.
