Presentation of Bishop Denis Madden at the Tantur Ecumenical Institute International Ecumenical Advisory Board Meeting, London, England, June 2013
"I cannot help but reiterate the importance of taking up the invitation of Pope Francis to build a genuine “culture of encounter” within the Church and around the Church, beginning with a renewed commitment to a broad spectrum of ecumenical and interreligious dialogues and relationships. As we pass the benchmark of 50 years since the Second Vatican Council we have every reason to believe that a new springtime of ecumenical and interreligious relationships is on the horizon, if not already upon us. As we have seen, the landscape is already brimming with both past achievements and rich possibilities for the near and long-term future."
