Conference: include RCs
by Rachel Harden
IN A BID to avoid “ecumenical stagnation”, leaders of the Conference of European Churches (CEC) have proposed the creation of a new body that would include the Roman Catholic Church. At a meeting of CEC leaders, which included invited representatives of Europe’s RC bishops, it was suggested that a new Council of European Churches should be established ENI reports that the President of the CEC, the Revd Jean-Arnold de Clermont, said the proposal had been put forward after last year’s European ecumenical assembly in Sibiu, Romania. He said that at Sibiu it seemed that the leaders of the different denominations were setting aside “any expectation of a patient, resolute quest for unity” in the face of institutional and doctrinal blockages. There are three regional ecumenical bodies that include the RC Church: the Caribbean Conference of Churches; the Middle East Council of Churches; and the Pacific Conference of Churches. |
