Lutherans, Episcopalians, Catholics Join Forces in Northeast Ohio May 18, 2001

In an historic pact that would have been unimaginable a generation ago, the Northeast Ohio region's Lutheran, Episcopal and Catholic churches are pledging to worship, lobby and pray together as a sign of Christian unity. While the agreement stops short of addressing divisive issues such as shared Communion, the covenant concludes with the vow, "We hereby agree to strive toward the removal of impediments to the cause of unity, and place no impediment in the way of reunion."

"This is another level of ecumenism, and mutual respect," said (Catholic) Bishop Anthony M. Pilla. "We're all publicly committing ourselves and celebrating it." The Rev. Lloyd O'Keefe, ecumenical officer, Episcopal, stated, "I think it's a breakthrough for ecumenical relations and promises to be a wonderful working relationship." Bishop Marcus J. Miller (Lutheran) said, "I'm always so moved by...how deeply important it is to so many people to see us together."

The agreements are with the more moderate Evangelical Lutheran Church in America; the more conservative Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod has expressed concerns that the Lutheran faith may be compromised.
