Religious leaders aim to bridge denominational divide

From The Pittsburgh Trib-

About 250 representatives of the Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant faiths will discuss how to break down barriers among them during a conference Monday through Thursday in the Sheraton Station Square.

"The purpose is to allow folks to come together to talk about the issues that we can celebrate together, to address some of the issues that continue to divide our churches and to find the means within our respective regional governing bodies to live out our commitment to unity within the church," said the Rev. Donald B. Green, executive director of Christian Associates of Southwest Pennsylvania.

The National Workshop on Christian Unity is sponsored by Christian Associates, a Lawrenceville-based organization of 26 church bodies representing 2,000 local congregations with 1 million members.

Green said some workshop participants will discuss the reception of Anglican clergy in the Catholic Church and Orthodox spirituality.
