Ecumenical Dialogue - Catholic

For the past four to five years, I have been actively involved in ecumenical dialogue on several internet forums as a Catholic. My postings are distributed across various forums, and it has been hard for me to trace my own writings. I thought it would be good if I can gather them all in one place, or at least set up a platform where I can launch myself into these forums. Here it goes. The first forum, where I am now still posting to, is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/catholicact/

No details in this summary.  It does seem that the Evangelical Church in Germany is recognising infant baptism as well. 

 

(Of course, this is about water baptism, as per John 3:5)

Protestants and Orthodox laud agreement in Germany on baptism 
 
Bielefeld, Germany (ENI). The Evangelical Church in Germany
(EKD), the country's main Protestant grouping, and the
Istanbul-based Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople have
signed an agreement to recognise baptisms. Under the agreement
announced after a September meeting in Istanbul, Christians who
convert from one denomination to another will not be baptised
again. [348 words, ENI-04-0657]
