WORLD4 Church unity ‘for the sake of the world’ André Forget staff writer Since their inception 50 years ago, ecumen- ical dialogues between Roman Catholic and Anglican churches have often focused on arcane points of doctrinal similarity and difference. But there is a growing desire in both churches to see unity as more than an end in itself, said Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, reflecting on his recent trip to Rome. “The unity of the church is not for the church itself, and if it is, we might as well stop talking,” Hiltz said in an interview. (in)finite“The unity of the church has to be in the interest of a common and faithful and united witness to the gospel, and the gospel is clearly for the world.” Hiltz travelled to Italy October 4-6 as part of a delegation of Anglican primates and bishops led by Archbishop of Canter- bury Justin Welby to celebrate the 50th an- niversary of the Anglican Centre in Rome. It was his first time in Rome, and his first time meeting Pope Francis, whose work he admires and whom he often quotes. 5Archbishop declaration signed by both leaders October a little more about the future direction “It was an amazing experience,” Hiltz Fred Hiltz, 5, which highlighted common views on the ecumenical dialogues will take.

On the night of October 5, ecumenical vespers were held at the Basilica of San Gregorio al Celio, where the choirs of the Sistine Chapel and Canterbury Cathedral sang together. During the service, 19 pairs of Anglican and Catholic bishops were commissioned for united mission. The next day, they were presented with Lampedusa crosses during a service at San Francesco Saverio del Caravita. Named after Lampedusa, an island between Sicily and Tunisia, these crosses are made of wood from the wreckage of boats carrying migrants and refugees that capsized between North Africa and Europe in 2013. photo: walter zimmerman Hiltz said the crosses were given “as Campers enjoy some outdoor activities a reminder to us of our call to unity and exploring the finite limitations of humanity mission, and that mission is for the sake of (in)finite: and the ineffable, infinite nature of the divine. the world, and the suffering peoples of the wor l d .” A juried exhibition inviting artists working in fibre media to submit artwork that: For him, it was yet another reminder • connects the artist with their spirituality. that ecumenical dialogue is not only a • is designed for meditation, personal devotion, community prayer or public worship. matter of discussing doctrine. “What is the point of our unity?” he The exhibition will include perspectives from First Nations. asked, letting the question hang in the air. “Is it for the sake of the church alone, or is Canadian Textile Juried Exhibition • May 25 to June 4, 2017 • Christ Church Cathedral, Vancouver, BC it for the sake of the world and a common witness to the gospel?” g 4 anglican journal • december 2016
