Archbishop Welby: Churches must offer “friendship and hospitality” to each other
Good relations between different Christian traditions are the "oxygen" that allows the Church to fulfil its mission and proclaim the Gospel, the Archbishop of Canterbury said today.
Speaking in Leicester to members of the Meissen Commission, an ecumenical programme between English and German churches, the Archbishop said: "Ecumenism is not an extra that one can fit in because it's an interesting occupation. It is the oxygen of mission and evangelism."
The Meissen Commission oversees relations between the Church of England and the Evangelical Church of Germany (EKD), who in 1991 signed an agreement to work towards "full, visible unity".
