Abstract

Article 17 of the Lisbon Treaty institutionalises an ‘open, transparent and regular dialogue’ between European institutions and churches, religions and communities of conviction. This article examines the functional breakdown of religious dialogue in the European Union and proposes four types of relations between religious/convictional representations and European institutions, namely, private-public, experimental, proactive and institutionalised.
