Let's Work Together

A response to: Anglicans Name Catholic an Honorary Canon

Abbot Edmund Power, Abbot of St. Paul’s Outside the Walls of Rome, urges all Catholics to work together with Anglicans (and, implicitly, Episcopalians) for the common good and for the Gospel to proclaim the message regarding Jesus in a culture which no longer recognizes Jesus.

How shall we respond to this? Recently, a Professor of Saint Joseph’s College, and Episcopalian, led a group of four students to visit the Catholic missions in Tanzania conducted by the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. Father Walter Milandu drove the group of the members of St. Joseph’s College to all the missions conducted by the members of the CPPS. Two thousand kilometers in two weeks. Two of the students were Catholics, and the rest of them (two students and the professor), members of different Christian traditions. It is a good example, I think, of how we can work together for the common good (understanding in this case the needs of the people of Tanzania, over half of whom are Christian).
