	Sr Donna Geernaert, SC - Councils of Churches: New Possibilities for Catholic Participation?
		Marking the 50th anniversary of the Council’s inauguration, the Harare Assembly was identified as an ecumenical jubilee.

	Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity
		While the concern for restoring Christian unity involves the whole Church, clergy and laity alike,[55] religious orders and congregations and societies of apostolic life, by the very nature of their particular commitments in the Church and the contexts in which they live out these commitments, have significant opportunities of fostering ecumenical thought and action.
		Christian life, notably the life of particular Churches has been enriched throughout history by a variety of expressions, enterprises and spiritualities, according to the charisms given by the Spirit for the building up of the Church, revealing a clear distinction of tasks in the service of the community.
		Christians may be encouraged to share in spiritual activities and resources, i.e., to share that spiritual heritage they have in common in a manner and to a degree appropriate to their present divided state.[113]

		For Christians, it is the person of Jesus Christ who, through his life, his work and his words, reveals the God who is a loving Father and he invites all his followers to live in brotherly communion with each other.
		Christian and ecumenical witness is first of all related to the heart of the Gospel, to the example and the commandment of Jesus Christ.
		Most Christians in the West, when they learn about their brothers and sisters in the Gulf, react with compassion and despair: 'Oh, those poor people!' In comparison with Christians living in other regions or countries, Christians in the Gulf live in a tiny minority position.

	THE POTENTIAL OF MIXED MARRIAGE FAMILIES
		The Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity is entrusted with the promotion within the Catholic Church of an authentic ecumenical spirit and to develop dialogue and collaboration with the other Churches and world communions.
		One of the most prophetic teachings of the Vatican Council II was the emergence of the "domestic church" as a category for affirming the family as the first and primordial "community of love and life" in the Church.
		The message of this picture is important for Christian couples and for interchurch families because it reveals Christ as the best friend of human love and as the key to the unity of the family and the unity of the Church which are two inseparable realities.

		The Catholic Church acknowledges the conciliar, ecumenical, normative, and irrevocable value, as expression of the one common faith of the Church and of all Christians, of the Symbol professed in Greek at Constantinople in 381 by the Second Ecumenical Council.
		If these Councils did not perhaps insert it in the Symbol of Nicaea-Constantinople, it is certainly to be found there from the end of the eighth century, as evidenced in the proceedings of the Council of Aquileia-Friuli in 796 (Mansi XIII, 836, D, ff.) and that of Aix-la-Chapelle of 809 (Mansi XIV, 17).
		In the light of the Lateran Council, which preceded the second Council of Lyons, it is clear that it is not the divine essence that can be the "one principle" for the procession of the Holy Spirit.
