there’s going to have to be a meaty announcement if there is a meeting, and it likely wont be in Russia.
the rocor mp union is fresh enough that Alexy won’t risk a mass exodus on account of a meeting with the pope.
i am ecumenical in many rocor eyes... ponder that.

Why is it the Russian Church feels it speaks for all of Orthodoxy? That’s the position of the EP.

Great news! I am impressed by the way the Cypriots are working at this.

NYer, it's wonderful to see your name at the top of a thread again. :)
Why is it that "Catholic" and "Orthodox" are used? Why not Catholics, Orthodox and Roman?

The Orthodox archbishop noted that 1,000 years of separation cannot be overcome in a day. But, in the last 40 years, he said, "we have begun a dialogue of charity, and now we move on to theological dialogue, which is that of truth." "It is not easy to resolve problems. We need time," he said. "But dialogue is an important step forward and now we can move on to respond to Jesus' commandment for unity. Each time we meet, we make one more step forward."
Wonderful!
Pray for unity.
John 17:20-22 "I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one."
I learned from the fall of the Berlin Wall that nothing is impossible.

I hate to tell you but while it gives a goodie-good feeling all over, it will not work. Both the Catholic Pope and the Orthodox Patriarch will not give up on the leadership reigns. It's not the head of the churches will will succeed with the unity, it's the Christian worshipers who have the power to do so.
