Visser ‘t Hooft, general secretary of the World Council of Churches, welcomes Augustine Cardinal Bea, head of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, as the Roman Catholic ecumenical leader arrives in Geneva. Cardinal Bea made church history in Geneva by becoming the first Prince of the Church ever to visit the WCC’s world office and by announcing that the Vatican has accepted an invitation to hold joint conversations with representatives of the World Council. The first of these discussions by a Vatican-WCC working group was expected to take place within four months. The representatives will consider possible collaboration in such fields as social and international affairs and philanthropy and explore problems bearing on Christian unity.
