" By God's grace it can happen, but how it can eludes me."
Well, I'm not holding my breath! From the Orthodox side, we've been kicking around a Pan Orthodox Council since at least the 20s and haven't gotten anywhere that I can see except mad at each other! All in God's good time, I suppose. In the meantime, counting coup on each other just makes matters worse, but a good, open and respectful discussion at least has the value of teaching us where the other guy is coming from and that's no small thing.
