Week Here Think By Rev Belliss
The Episcopal Church seeks careful moves toward reunion with other Christian bodies. Exploratory talks have been held with Methodists and Presbyterians, noting both areas of agreement and deep divergent convictions. The church, part of the Anglican Communion, views the Canterbury visit and Pope John XXIII with care, aiming toward eventual but distant rapprochement with Rome, while avoiding actions that could jeopardize this goal. A global crisis urges churches to seek reunion in God’s will.
