Anglicans and Roman Catholics have outlined the next step on the road to unity in a 44-page report entitled “Growing Together in Unity and Mission”.
The statement was agreed by the International Anglican Roman Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission (IARCCUM) and released on Friday by the Anglican Communion Office and the Information Service of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.
In a preface written in 2006 by John Bathersby, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Brisbane, and David Beetge, Anglican Bishop of Highveld, the document was described as a “call for action, based upon an honest appraisal of what has been achieved in our dialogue”.
They added, “Despite our present ‘imperfect communion’, there is, we feel, enough common ground to take seriously how we work together.”
The “Growing Together in Unity and Mission” report is an attempt from the two Churches to summarise the last 40 years of Anglican-Roman Catholic theological dialogue on areas of agreement and convergence.
