” “Next November will be a key month in the dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Anglican confession. In Leeds, from 13th to 16th, for the very first time since the "Church of England" has been founded by Henry VIII in the sixteenth century, all the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales will meet their Anglican counterparts who sit in the "House of Bishops" in Parliament. In the same month, the Anglican leader, the archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, will come on an official visit to the Pope. "The meaning of the meeting is one of fraternity states to SIR mgr. Andrew Faley, secretary general for ecumenism and inter-religious relations of the Bishops Conference of England and Wales a spirit that reflects the ecumenical work and local cooperation between the two Churches. We will share moments of prayer, the Vespers in the catholic tradition and the morning prayer in the Anglican tradition". However, dialogue "remains stationary as to the ordination of women bishops" that Faley called "an impassable obstacle". A step forward in dialogue could be the meeting between Rowan Williams and Benedict XVI, in which "they will discuss the difficulties on the way to unity and authority in the Anglican confession". The full text of the interview with mgr. Faley will be published on the next issue of SIR Europa.” “
