VirtueOnline<\/a>, an Anglican news site, reports that “a decade’s long impasse between Anglicanism and the Orthodox Church has been broken at an ecumenical conference.” Correspondent Michael Hiedt writes that a historic “covenant” has been signed between Nashotah House<\/a>, an Anglican seminary in Wisconsin, and St. Vladimir’s Seminary which calls for “traditional Anglican leaders and their counterparts in the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) … to work towards unity.”<\/p>\n

Speaking to an international audience of one hundred and seventy people, ACNA (Anglican Church in North America) Archbishop, Robert Duncan, stated that signing the conference’s inter-seminary covenant, committing Nashotah House and St. Vladimir’s seminaries to mutual prayer and fellowship, “lays the groundwork of something very much larger”, namely “serious dialogue” with the OCA and “the resumption of ecumenical discussion between two separated parts of the Church.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Heidt said that OCA Metropolitan Jonah, “a former Anglican,” spoke about the urgency of Christian unity in the face of an “increasingly aggressive secularism.” The metropolitan said that the aim of the Anglican-Orthodox talks was nothing less than unity:<\/p>\n

\n“The Orthodox Church has this central vision of being united in Christ by the Spirit to the Father and we cannot bear not to be united to one another. This is really about our identity as Christians, it’s not about labels, institutes, it’s about the living reality of our communion in Christ by the Holy Spirit… (this) must be made manifest by our communion in the Chalice… of our eternal life.”<\/p>\n

This means that full union between Orthodoxy and traditional Anglicanism is imperative and goes beyond mutual projects and discussion. “That’s the goal of our dialogue, absolute unity,” said the Metropolitan, and this will be “actualized through repentance, a mutual striving towards God and the will of God.” For Jonah, unity will only be achieved by walking the way of the Cross, which means letting go of “our desire for power and control, personal agendas… nothing else matters.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
