Ecumenism is a Journey

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. Summer is officially over in the northern hemisphere of our planet, and fall has begun. In this post I just wanted to share an article titled: Ecumenism is a common journey, not a lab experiment, pope says. The article was written by Junno Arocho Esteves for Catholic News Service earlier this year. The following is an excerpt from it:

'"The path toward Christian unity can't be found isolated in a laboratory hashing out theological differences, but rather by walking together on a common journey, Pope Francis said.

While theological dialogue is necessary, Catholics and Anglicans can continue to "help each other in our needs, in our lives and help each other spiritually," the pope said Feb. 26 while answering questions from parishioners of All Saints' Anglican Church in Rome.

"This cannot be done in a laboratory; it must be done walking together along the way. We are on a journey and while we walk, we can have these (theological) discussions," he said."'
