Rome’s Anglican leader says Pope Francis is advancing ecumenism in every way. In an interview with ZENIT this week in Rome, the director of Rome’s Anglican Centre and the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Representative to the Holy See, Archbishop David Moxon, expressed this. In addition to exploring how the Pope is advancing these relations, Archbishop Moxon discusses how the Argentine Pontiff makes ‘ecumenical’ personable and attractive and the possibility of closer relations between all Christians much deeper and more accessible. He also spoke of the great commonalities between Catholics and Anglicans and how work is being done to close the gap. Moreover, the Anglican prelate speaks on his hopes for enhanced relations between Catholics and Anglicans, as well as with all Christians.
ZENIT: How is Pope Francis advancing ecumenical relations? Archbishop Moxon: In every way. He is beginning to advance many of the hopes and ideas of the ecumenical papal encyclical Ut Unum Sint. Also, by his own natural extroversion and genuine love for other churches and ecclesial communities he is making ‘ecumenical’ personable and attractive. There always seems to be room deep in his heart for others in this way, and this is noticed.
