The International Anglican - Roman Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission

In 2000, Archbishop George Carey and Cardinal Edward Cassidy, the then President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, convoked a conference of Anglican and Roman Catholic bishops at Mississauga in Canada to discern the progress made in theological conversations, and whether closer co-operation could be developed between the two traditions. The result was the International Anglican - Roman Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission, which has been meeting since 2001.

The first fruit of its work, the Report Growing Together in Unity and Mission, was published in 2007; this presentation aims to illustrate some aspects of its themes.

The English Anglican - Roman Catholic Committee
The English Anglican-Roman Catholic Committee (English ARC) works to promote relations between the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church in England at local and national level. The Co-Chairs of English ARC (2010) are the Rt Revd Michael Scott-Joynt (Bishop of Winchester; Church of England) and the Most Revd Bernard Longley (Archbishop of Birmingham; Roman Catholic Church).
This Committee meets residentially twice a year, combining its study and discussion with visits to local areas to see how ecumenism works in practice at the grass-roots.
The Committee works closely with Anglican-Roman Catholic Committees in France and Belgium.
