From the preface to Growing Together in Unity and Mission:

“…this is a call to action.... Despite our present ‘imperfect communion,’ there is, we feel, enough common ground to take seriously how we work together… IARCCUM is offering practical suggestions on the way in which Anglican and Roman Catholic ecumenical participation can be appropriately fostered and carried forward.”

The first part of this book “offers an honest appraisal of what has been achieved in the dialogue,” while not shying away from remaining difficulties. The second part presents specific recommendations for the local expression of joint worship and work.

Participants are asked to read Growing Together in Unity and Mission (ISBN 978-0-281-05939-3) before arriving so that there can be a healthy exchange of ideas.

The days will include discussions with Vatican officials, guided touring and time for relaxing in Rome, the ancient crossroad of civilization and style.

This course will begin on Wednesday, 18 February at 5.00 pm and finish with a meal on Monday evening 23 February.
