ECUMENISM: NYOMI (WARC), "DIALOGUE IS A GIFT AND A CHALLENGE"” “” “

” “Ecumenical dialogue still contains "old and current differences" as well as "many points of concurrence. We are all committed to responding to Christ’s call to unit, which is a gift and a challenge". With these words, Setri Nyomi, secretary general of the World Christian Confessions (WARC), a forum bringing together delegates from different Christian confessions, greeted Benedict XVI during the audience for the annual conference of the forum, in Rome. "Some of our confessions have strong bilateral contacts with the Vatican – recalled Nyomi – and through these we have achieved great progress in mutual understanding. We hope – concluded the secretary general – the results of these contacts may have a positive impact on the life of the different nations and communities, so that we can keep living the gift of unity for the salvation of mankind".” “
