What do you all think about it?
For those who don't know about it, it is a movement among Christian denominations to form a unified Church again. It has mainly manifested itself in the World Council of Churches, but has been relatively unsuccessful in bringing denominations into communion with each other for fear of diluting the faith. However, recently, the Patriarch of Constantinople (sometimes called the Pope of the East) attended the consecration of the western Pope Francis. For those in the protestant tradition this is meaningless, but it was a fairly important move for anyone in the more traditional denominations as the two churches have been separated for the last 1,000 years.
