Catholics and Evangelicals

Fr Stephen Wang

I've been very conscious of increasingly strong links between Catholics and evangelical Christians at various levels, Fr Stephen Wang writes in his blog Bridges and Tangents. The recent HTB Leadership Conference made a big impression - whether it was the high-profile plenary interview between Nicky Gumbel and Cardinal Schönborn, or the conversations between ordinary delegates about faith and mission. And you could even say that the warmth and commonality between Pope Francis and Archbishop Justin Welby is another 'Catholic-Evangelical' signal.

If you are interested in following up this topic, and in case you have never seen it, take a look at this agreed statement that was made a long way back in 1994, Evangelicals & Catholics Together: The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium. A couple of weeks ago I heard George Weigel mention the text, and then a friend from the Ordinariate brought it to my attention as well. Something is in the air!
