Quotes

• We need never be afraid to speak the truth. Authentic ecumenism requires that we speak the truth to each other lovingly, and love each other truthfully. Inter-church families must be a special focus of our concern. We ought offer them our friendship, respect their experience and try to find new ways to respond to their needs.
