Vatican leader others call Global Christian Forum vital innovation Broadest range of Christian traditions ever
A senior Vatican official says the Roman Catholic Church welcomes the start of the Global Christian Forum—a new body intended to bring together the diverse strands of Christianity as never before.
“When Christians are divided, the preaching of the gospel suffers and this is a pain we all have to feel,” said Bishop Brian Farrell, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, in addressing the inaugural November 6-9 meeting of the forum near Nairobi, Kenya.
