Love the hat but what's he doing to the guy kneeling at the altar?The ecumenical representatives of the Orthodox church and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) have expressed their “firm and serious commitment” to continue their dialogues with the Anglican Communion, which have been experiencing tensions worldwide over the issue of human sexuality.
Metropolitan Nikitas, (pictured) ecumenical delegate representing the Orthodox church, told a press briefing at the meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) here that his church’s commitment to dialogue with the Anglican Communion is one that is based on “equal understanding and mutual respect” and is “built upon a firm and solid foundation.”
The bishop of the Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC), Michael Pryse, who is representing the LWF at the ACC meeting, said he had been “moved and inspired by the stories that we’ve heard” about Anglican mission worldwide. He said that Anglicans and Lutherans “share much of a common history, theologically and liturgically,” and are facing similar issues and challenges.
