Presence of the Cardinal Turkson. Le Collège des Bernardins in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Catholic Academy of Bavaria organized a French-German conference: "Values of the faith: what is the impact on the economic, political and cultural world?".
The differences in the political and religious histories of these two countries explain partially their different, and may be complementary, practices and perspectives. Considering the friendly cooperation between these two countries over the last 60 years, as well as the deep stakes of the current crisis, which is an ethical and spiritual crisis more than an economical and financial one, this conference is an opportunity to deepen the French -German relationships in the European context.
Conference in three parts: Regarding the part on the economic world, the speakers were: Pierre de Lauzun, vice- President of the Financial Ethics Commission and member of les EDC, Chief Operational Officer of the French Bank Federation (FBF), Burkard Leffers, Vice-President of BKU, delegate for UNIAPAC, CEO of Structured Finance Management GmbH (SFM).
