An Insider’s View: Orthodox-Catholic Dialogue
Presentation by Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia.
Copyright: 2010 Orientale Lumen Foundation, Inc.

This less than one-hour talk by Bishop Kallistos gives almost a news briefing style summary of where we are in 2010 with Orthodox-Catholic Dialogue.

There is a paper that is under consideration by the 60 member worldwide commission. The over 30 points are mostly disputed doctrinal coordinates that will take many years to carefully work through to the satisfaction of the membership. This confidential paper serves as the topics of dialogue to come to terms with differences and desires for unity amidst distinctions.

Two images of the work offered that I found helpful: Think of a circle with God in the middle. Many lines from the circumference travel toward God. The closer we are to God the closer we are to each other. The second image is rapprochement. We repent of the separation and the at least thousand years of distrust and divisions that harm our seeking unity with God through relationships we call church.
