February 2013 This month’s ecumenical thought is from 'Growing together in Unity and Mission ' ‘We, the bishops of IARCCUM (The International Anglican Roman Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission), invite Anglicans and Roman Catholics everywhere to consider the following suggestions. 1. Develop strategies to foster the visible expressions of our shared faith 2. Joint study in order to deepen the faith we share 3. Co-operate wherever possible in ministry
4. Share witness in the world |

January 2013 This month’s quote is from 'Growing together in Mission and Unity ' ‘Genuine faith is more than assent: it is expressed in action. As Anglicans and Roman Catholics seek to overcome the remaining obstacles to full visible unity, we, the bishops of IARCCUM, recognise that the extent of common faith described in this statement compels us to live and witness together more fully here and now. Agreement in faith must go beyond mere affirmation. Discerning a common faith challenges our churches to recognise that elements of sanctification and truth exist in each other’s ecclesial lives, and to develop those channels and practical expressions of co-operation by which a common life and mission may be generated and sustained’. |

December 2012 Continuing our sharing of quotes from religious and spiritual leaders – this month’s thought is from 'Growing together in Mission and Unity ' An agreed statement of the international Anglican-Roman Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission. 'Because we hope in the bountiful Grace of God, we are encouraged to persevere and to face the difficulties of growing together. We give glory to God,''whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine: glory be to Him from generation to generation in the Church and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever . Amen''( Ephesians 3.20-21). |

November 2012 Continuing our sharing of quotes from religious and spiritual leaders – this month’s thought is taken from the Bishops Conference of England and Wales www.cbcew.org.uk/christian-unity Christian Unity Unity among all Christians is a key concern of the Catholic Church. Ecumenism, unity or cooperation with other Christian churches, is about healing and forgiving so we can all work together as a united witness to our shared faith in Christ… The key element of ecumenism is the "Churches Together" approach to being united in faith. This is a commitment by each church and denomination to deeped fellowship with others without losing what makes each different. The aim is to work towards a greater visible unity. This works at a local, regional and national level. |
