> Rev & Dear Father: Just so. The personal,grassroots contacts are
essential if this 'marriage' is to come off and come off well. There ARE
theological differences that will need to be discussed further down the
road and devotional, customary and sacramental practices that will have
to be shared and accepted, but at this point based on what I have seen
to date, I believe that if the spirit of St Vincent of Lerins is adopted
authentically then all will be well. Our 'guys' acquited themselves well
enough at Oakville.
May Our Lady of Wisdom guide us
into fulfilling her Son's command '...that they all be one...'
Blessings.In your charity: Please pray for the repose of the soul of
Emerson F. who has died after a long battle with cancer. Jesus mercy.
Mary pray. GDVW+
