Joking about the title of the group, but seriously our group geared towards conversing about a biblical and meaningful ecumenism met at a fellow Reformed brothers house today. There where 4 Covenant Student, me(a future Covenant student), A former Covenant student that is Now Roman Catholic, A former PCA fellow that is almost in full communion with Rome, and a Lutheran fellow from Concordia Seminary. It was really a great time! Given that healthy ecumenism is the exchanging of gifts, not the watering down of distinctions or truth, i would definitely say we are a truly ecumenical group! The dialogue and discourse was healthy respectful and helpful. We are hoping to get an Anglican fellow and perhaps an Orthodox fellow as well. The format is loose but follows general crux issues such as perspectives on everything from Ecclesiology to Soteriology to Sacramentology. Today we touched on Justification, and it was good, although i would have like to have heard some more nuances touched on and from all sides represented. As a whole I'm very stoked! I love this kind of non-sectarian dialogue, its delightfully refreshing!
