Church Unity?
p. 30 · Read in the full issue
The Anglican and Roman Catholic churches in Papua-New Guinea have begun official talks to find out how the two churches can grow closer together.
Similar talks between the two churches are expected to begin soon on a South Pacific-wide basis.
In a statement in February, the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches announced that they had set up a joint commission in Papua-New Guinea. The commis sion’s aim was to overcome ignorance between the churches of each other’s life and doctrines, and to see how they could begin to grow closer together. The joint commission is composed of theo logians and priests engaged in pastoral work.
The statement said that the commission had been established as a result of growing awareness of Christian disunity in Papua- New Guinea.
