The International Commission for Anglican–Orthodox Theological Dialogue released a communiqué after a meeting in Larnaca, Cyprus from 13-20 October.
The meeting was hosted by His Eminence Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Kition on behalf of the Church of Cyprus.
The discussion continued consideration of ecology and end-of-life issues.
“The Commission was gratified to find substantial convergence in our views on care for creation as well as opportunities for joint action,” the communique reads. “The Commission was saddened to hear of the ongoing pain and suffering caused by the occupation of the north of Cyprus and prayed for a speedy, just and peaceful resolution to this situation.”
The commission attended the Sunday Eucharist at the Anglican Cathedral of St Paul, Nicosia, a celebration of the Divine Liturgy at the Cathedral Church of St Lazarus, Larnaca and Great Vespers of the Feast of St Luke, in the Church of St Luke, Patron Saint of Aradippou.
The commission also visited holy sites and relics, including the Church of Angeloktisti, Kiti, Larnaca, and the Byzantine Museum Archbishop Makarios III, Nicosia, and the Church of the Holy Cross in Pano Lefkara.
The work of the commission will continue at its next meeting in October 2019, hosted by the Anglican Communion in Canterbury.
