Vatican City, Jan 25, 2006 / 22:00 pm
Earlier today at the Vatican, Pope Benedict met with preparatory members of the European Ecumenical Assembly. He chose the occasion to tell his listeners that the Christian mission will only be fruitful and “enlightening” if Christians have the courage to decisively continue “down the path of reconciliation and unity.”
The meeting comes on the heels of the closing ceremonies for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which concluded yesterday.
