Anglicanism Refimprove date June 2010 Anglican interest in ecumenism ecumenical dialogue can be traced back to the time of the Reformation and dialogues with both Orthodox and Lutheran churches in the sixteenth century. In the nineteenth century, with the rise of the Oxford Movement , there arose greater concern for reunion of the churches of Catholic confession. This desire to work towards full Communion Christian communion with other denominations led to the development of the Chicago Lambeth Quadrilateral , approved by the Third Lambeth Conference of 1888. The four points the sufficiency of scripture, as the ultimate standard of faith, the historic creeds, the two dominical sacraments, and the historic episcopate were stipulated as the basis for church unity, a basis on which approach may be by God s blessing made towards Home Reunion Although they are not considered members, some non Anglican bodies have entered into communion with the Communion as a whole or with its constituent member churches, despite having non Anglican origins and traditions, such as the Old Catholic Church and Lutherans of the Porvoo Communion , Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada .

Pope Benedict XVI has declared his commitment to the Second Vatican Council s Ecumenism , but has stressed a hermeneutic of continuity in Catholic doctrine so that Ecumenism never really becomes a break from the bi millennial Church tradition. Speaking at his weekly audience in St Peter s Square on 7 June 2006, Pope Benedict asserted that Jesus himself had entrusted the leadership of the Church to his apostle Saint Peter Peter . Peter s responsibility thus consists of guaranteeing the communion with Christ, said Pope Benedict. Let us pray so that the primacy of Simon Peter primacy of Peter , entrusted to poor human beings, may always be exercised in this original sense desired by the Lord, so that it will be increasingly recognised in its true meaning by brothers who are still not in communion with us. The Catholic Church teaches that the Pope has a leading role among Christians because as Bishop of Rome he is successor to the apostle Peter who first held the office. The role of the papacy remains a source of controversy, not only for Protestant denominations but also for Eastern Orthodox churches, who likewise do not accept Petrine primacy as defined at the First Vatican Council . ref http www.eni.ch articles display.shtml?06 0459 Benedict s call on papacy will increase divisions, says Italian Protestant ref Traditionalist Catholics Although the question of relations between the Holy See and disaffected traditionalist Catholics is more a question of internal Church discipline than of ecumenism in the strict sense, this issue reflects Benedict s larger concern for promoting Christian unity under the mantle of the papacy.
