CARDINAL KASPER PRESENTS A NEW BOOK ON ECUMENISM

October 16, 2009

VATICAN CITY, 15 OCT 2009 (VIS) – Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, presented a new book on ecumenism at a press conference held this morning in the Holy See Press Office. The work is entitled “Harvesting the Fruits. Basic aspects of Christian Faith in Ecumenical Dialogue. Ecumenical Consensus, Convergences and Differences” and was published recently by the London publisher “Continuum”.

“This book”, the cardinal explained, “is the result of two years of intense efforts I undertook with officials of my pontifical council, in collaboration with our consultors and ecumenical partners. … In the work we analyse the main Protestant communities, which were the first to establish ties with us following Vatican Council II”, and examine the current situation, “with an eye both to the past and to the future”.

During the presentation, Cardinal Kasper announced a symposium, due to be held in February 2010, which, taking the text of this book as its starting point, will discuss the future of Western ecumenism.
