On Monday, May 2, in a coffee house setting at the Lutheran Church of the Master in Carol Stream, the unity of the Christian church from an evangelical and Catholic perspectives was discussed..

Leading the conversation was Dr. John Armstrong, president of the ACT3 Network and Dr. Jon Nilsen, professor emeritus from the Theology Department of Loyola University – Chicago. The subject for the evening had the title “Good Theology Must be Ecumenical Why & How?”. 

The night’s theme brought a broad range of conversation..  immigration, demographic changes, racial and cultural factors, hierarchy structures, and other variables that hinder unity between evangelicals and Catholics.

Dr. Armstrong is the author of Your Church Is Too Small: Why Unity in Christ’s Mission is Vital to the Future of the Church (2010) and The Unity Factor: One Lord, One Church, One Mission (2011). His current blogs are now featured at XPian News.

The next ACT3 Network-sponsored evangelical/Catholic dialogue is scheduled for June 20 with the topic “A Dialogue on Catholic-Evangelical Unity: What Can We Learn in Friendship?”at Lutheran Church of the Master, Carol Stream.
