Conclusion
-
It
is hoped that this dialogue might inspire dialogues on national
or local levels between Roman Catholics and classical Pentecostals.
The participants recommend to their parent bodies that the dialogue
continue into a fourth round of discussions.
-
The members of the dialogue, during this quinquennium, visited
worship services representing both traditions. Learning was
not confined only to the dialogue table, but also took place
in local Catholic parishes and Pentecostal congregations visited
during this series of discussions and at informal conversations
between sessions.
-
We have explored the subject of koinonia and have been
richly rewarded as together we affirmed the Lordship of Jesus.
We felt his pain as we understood our part in the on-going brokenness
of this Body. Nonetheless, that we could spend day after day
together sharing in great detail and depth our most dearly held
Christian convictions, and come away closer to our Risen Lord
and to each other, we understand is possible only by the grace
and mercy of God.
-
The prayer of Jesus, "That they all may be one" (John
17:21) has become increasingly important to us, and the cause
for much prayer and repentance still. Nevertheless, we are heartened
by the realization that fresh winds of the Spirit are blowing
in the Church universal, and we are waiting expectantly to see
what in the providence of God is yet to come. Our prayer continues
to be "Come, Holy Spirit!."
