I collected some quotes of delegates - here they are:
* Catholic delegate in the age around 50 about the passive participation:
„I’m back in school here“
* Protestant who was already a delegate in Graz:
„Nobody asked what happened to the commitments of Graz - not at any time in this week. Probably, nobody of the church leaders want to listen to, because then it’s obvious that they didn’t perform their homework“
* Young delegate about EEA3:
„If you did a conference similar to this in your own youth organisation, nobody would come a second time“
„What will you tell people, if you come home?“ Facial expression: Nothing.
* Methodist delegate about his experiences:
„I learned a lot here. Especially, how to make contributions in an undemocratic assembly.“

Well, we should have patience; if the results of the EEA3 are not shocking, they might be discrete. Even some publicity to ecumenism means a lot. In some ecclesiastical communities the opposition to ecumenism is very strong and maybe it will be weakened or, on the contrary, strengthened. But it is vital to be a general debate about ecumenism in every "yard".
Yes, even for me the speeches were disappointing, not reaching my expectations, but not all...
