We participated in an Ecumenical Service yesterday evening in the grounds of St Peter’s at the shrine to the First Martyrs of Rome, on the 62nd anniversary of the beginning of the Second Vatican Council. The desire for Christian Unity was reinvigorated at the Council while the Synod of Bishops is one of its many fruits.
There are 16 Fraternal Delegates participating in the Synod from Orthodox and Protestant Churches. Although Fraternal Delegates cannot vote they fully contribute to our discussions, both in the Small Groups and Plenary Sessions, and their insights and friendships enrich us. The entire synodal journey has emphasised the importance of baptism which has ecumenical implications since all Christians share a common baptism.
