Baptists and Vatican begin new dialogue

The Baptist World Alliance and the Vatican's ecumenical arm begin a new series of talks today at Duke Divinity School (one of our fine United Methodist institutions). This will be the first round of dialogues since the late 80's between these two groups. Check here for more.

How very good and pleasant it is when brethren live together in unity! It is like the precious annointing oil on the head, running down the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down over the collar of his vestments. It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountain of Zion. For there the Lord ordained his blessing: life forevermore. - Psalm 133
