The Lausanne movement is an Evangelical initiative with a focus
on mission, and the aim of the consultation was to establish Orthodox
participation in the movement. His Grace expressed the following:
“This step is unprecedented; this is a time to focus on
Christian unity and to collaborate and witness collectively where we can,
realising that what we have in common in many respects is far more than that
which divides us. There will be no compromise on Theology or Dogma, but
respecting that, there are still many ways in which we may be able to work
together. ”
The meeting was held in a friendly, collaborative
environment and participants were hopeful of further positive steps in the near
future.
