Synod for " the New Evangelisation": ecumenism
(Vatican Radio) Veronica Scarisbrick asks the the Under Secretary of the Pontifical
Council for the New Evangelisation, Monsignor Graham Bell why the 13th
Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops for the New Evangelisation currently
taking place in the Vatican this month of October has such a strong ecumenical slant
to it : " The Holy Father teaches that Ecumenism is a vital part of the New Evangelisation, and it is often the case that non -Catholic Churches and ecclesial communities have to face the same difficulties as Catholics in announcing the Gospel and living their faith in a a secularised world.
Notwithstanding the divisions in Christianity, there are many areas in which a concerted Christian effort is not only possible but vital.
I am thinking in particular about Christian opposition in relation to proposed legislation over assisted suicide and similar questions".
