The Daughters of St. Paul of Bandra, Mumbai, in close collaboration with the Archdiocesan Commission for Ecumenism, recently held a Symposium on Unity. Vatican Council II’s call to Christians to unite and dialogue with other religions resounded vigorously in the hearts of the 150 and more people who participated in the event.
Several noted guest speakers presented the teachings of St. John XXIII, St. John Paul II and Blessed Paul VI in favor of Christian unity, while others speakers offered pertinent ecumenical responses to the input, complementing it with their insights. Afterward, the audience was given the chance to engage in a frank discussion of a range of issues with the speakers.
Our sisters say that the efforts of their Pauline Animation and Spirituality Center to stimulate intellectual and spiritual thought through initiatives such as this one are always more appreciated, requested and encouraged by the Local Church.
