(Vatican Radio) The Rev. Dr Kaisamari Hintikka, is a senior member of the Lutheran World Federation and Assistant General Secretary for Ecumenical Relations who has been attending a meeting in Rome this week with secretaries of the Christian World Communions, an international ecumenical organization. Delegates attending the conference were received in audience by Pope Francis just before his Wednesday general audience. Dr Hintikka told Susy Hodges that these ecumenical conferences take place on a regular basis and all the different Christian denominations taking part that include Catholics and Orthodox Christians share a longer-term vision of unity and all of them were committed to that ultimate goal.
