Catholics join new ecumenical movement: Christian Churches Together
The U.S. Catholic bishops have given a key blessing to a groundbreaking effort to bring Catholics, evangelical and mainline Protestants and the Orthodox around a common table for the first time.
The bishops voted 151-73 at their fall meeting last month in Washington, D.C., to become full partners in Christian Churches Together in the USA, an ecumenical effort that began three years ago to allow most branches of American Christianity to “build bridges” and eventually speak with a common voice on selected issues.
