Episode 71 • 24th February 2022 • The Living Church Podcast • The Living Church
Ciao! Welcome to a very special episode of the Living Church Podcast. We are headed to Rome.
In January, Nashotah House Theological Seminary and the Living Church Institute co-hosted an ecumenical pilgrimage to Rome. We were a group of Catholics and Anglicans, students, clergy, and lay pilgrims, from the U.S., Canada, and Nigeria. The group was hosted by the Anglican Centre in Rome and the Centro Pro Unione.
I was deeply affected by my experience there and wanted to bring you all in, partly to answer some of the questions I had going in: What does ecumenism mean? What does it have to do with the average Christian? What can you learn about Christian unity, its possibilities and its snarls, by traveling to a holy site together?
This episode was recorded on-site in the Eternal City, in various places, including the Anglican Centre in Rome, the office of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, and my Airbnb. I’ll let all my interviewees introduce themselves.
We hope you enjoy the conversations and the journey, and maybe feel inspired to take a similar journey and start similar conversations yourself.
