An important and profound step for relations between the Catholic and Anglican Churches.
Thats how the Archbishop Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury and head of the worldwide Anglican Communion, described the contribution of the Catholic-founded ecumenical community Chemin Neuf.
Last month, the Anglican Archbishop invited members of the group to move into Lambeth Palace, his official London residence on the south side of the Thames. In a ceremony on February 20, he formally welcomed four members of the community: a married Anglican couple, Ione and Alan Morley-Fletcher; a German Lutheran training for ministry, Oliver Matri; and a Polish Catholic consecrated sister, Sister Ula Michlowicz.
The first priority identified by Archbishop Welby is the renewal of prayer and the religious life within the Church. The ecumenical group will join with the Archbishop in his daily round of prayer (three services per day in the Palaces Crypt Chapel), and will help to further the ecumenical and international dimensions of his work.
