From Anglican Communion News Service:
The Anglican Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCICIII) has completed the introductory part of the agenda for its first meeting. On Friday and Saturday it discussed background papers on the history of ARCIC I and II (Bishop Christopher Hill, Anglican Diocese of Guildford in England); how ARCIC I and II addressed matters of ecclesiology (Bishop Arthur Kennedy, Roman Catholic Auxiliary Bishop of Boston in the USA; Canon Dr. Nicholas Sagovsky, England) and ethics (Fr. Adelbert Denaux, Dean of Tilburg School of Theology, Utrecht; Dr. Charles Sherlock, retired professor from Melbourne, Australia).
… [Dr. Paul Murray from Durham University in England] stimulated discussion about receptive ecumenism: a way of being with each other that is open and vulnerable. “This is ecumenism not primarily as a task of convincing the other, but as a task of conversion; a task of asking how in the face of the other we are being called to conversion out of ways that are frustrating our flourishing, and into a greater abundance of life, a deeper quality of catholicity,” Dr. Murray said. In other words, our two Communions might be able to help each other grow in faith, life and witness if they are open to being transformed by God’s grace mediated through each other.”
