I agree. If there is to be a true reunion of the various sects of Christianity, there will need to be a grand council with everything since the 7th on the table (that being the one where most people end up agreeing on).

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.
