Communiqué from the meeting of ARCIC III in Villa Palazzola
5 May 2015
The Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) is the official body appointed by the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion to engage in theological dialogue in order that they may come into visible unity and full ecclesial communion. It held the fifth meeting of its current phase (ARCIC III) in an atmosphere of shared prayer and friendship at Villa Palazzola, the summer residence of the Venerable English College in Rome, 28 April”“4 May 2015. Members of the Commission are grateful to the staff of Villa Palazzola for the warm welcome extended to them.
We came, we had a nice time together, the food and hospitality was great, and we had a trip to meet our host, who was very nice to us and said some kind things and we even had our photo taken together with him. Oh by the way, we did some reading and some writing, or tried to anyway, but its not very interesting, so we won’t bore you with the details. We will tell you what we have agreed on your behalf, sometime, perhaps, maybe.
Yours from our Roman holiday,
Three Limeys, one Taffy, one Kiwi, one Ozzie, [oh, and we almost forgot, one South African – he’s from the Global South you know!]
