Benefiting once again from the warm and generous
hospitality of the brothers and sisters of the Monastic Community of
Bose, the Coordinating Committee of the Joint International Commission
for Theological Dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and the
Orthodox Church, under the co-presidency of Cardinal Kurt Koch,
president of the Pontifical Council for promoting Christian Unity, and
Archbishop Job of Telmessos, permanent representative of the Ecumenical
Patriarchate of Constantinople to the World Council of Churches, met
from 11 to 15 November 2019 at the Monastery of Bose (Italy). The
Committee examined a revised draft text entitled, “Primacy and
Synodality in the Second Millennium and Today”. It is envisaged that a
further meeting of the Coordinating Committee will be held in 2020.
