We were pleasantly surprised by what took place in the city of Iasi, Romania in June of 08. World Vision sponsored a city consultation and Jonathan Sharpe, an educator with a historical perspective provided the framework for a consultation where Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestants came together to discuss what kind of transformation could take place if they worked together. In a rare two day display of Church unity, participants formed an ongoing process to work together for a common good purpose.
Orthodox Priests
, Mihai Pavel and Nicholi Constin were instrumental in gathering Orthodox priests and leaders while Jonathan and Amy Sharpe were instrumental in bringing Roman Catholics and Protestants to the consultation. Mihai Pavel also works with World Vision International and has been instrumental helping the Orthodox Church understand its social mission within the country.
This city consultation was very effective and now the task of an ongoing mission for all participants continues.
