Dialogues

The Catholic faith instructs us and guides us not only in the unique pathway to God through Jesus Christ, but also in the manner in which we are to learn about and cooperate with people of other faiths.

English and Welsh Anglican – Roman Catholic Committee

At the start of the quinquennium it was decided to rename the group as “The English and Welsh Anglican – Roman Catholic Committee”. The Roman Catholic Bishops’ Conference covers both countries, while the Anglican Church in Wales is disestablished, and separate from the Church of England. Although there have been representatives of both Communions from Wales in previous “ARC’s” we were anxious to emphasis the Welsh dimension of our work. It has been interesting to note the differences between the Church in Wales and the Church of England in a number of areas.
