Bishop of Cashel co–chairs AOCICC

The Rt Revd Michael Burrows, Bishop of Cashel, Ferns and Ossory, recently co–chaired the Anglican–Old Catholic International Co–ordinating Council (AOCICC) in Ghent, Belgium.  The meeting was hosted by the Anglican Communion.

Participants reflected on the nature and meaning of the communion between the Anglican and Old Catholic Churches, updated each other about developments within each of their communions, briefed each other about developments in ecumenical relationships, and considered how to develop concrete proposals for the common mission of the Anglican and Old Catholic Churches on the European continent.

More information is available in the communiqué for the Council meeting.  The Council will meet again in Germany in July 2017 when it will be hosted by the (Old Catholic) Union of Utrecht.
