Two or three times a year the Executive Committee of the Commission organise open meetings with a speaker.

The latest meeting of the commission was on Saturday 24 September 2011 at St Augustine’s Church, Heelands, Milton Keynes, MK13 7PL.

To follow up the very successful meeting in June with Cardinal Cormac when he stressed the importance of local ecumenism, this meeting was concerned with ‘Ecumenism: What are we allowed to do?’

It was to be led by Fr James Cassidy, our Diocesan Ecumenical Officer, and Mgr Sean Healy, the Vicar General of the diocese. Parish representatives were encouraged to come along and tell the meeting what has worked for you in your parish, and to reflect on what has not.

We hope to carry a full report soon.
