Title: Orthodoxy approves dialogue with Catholicism.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-29944 ORTHODOXY APPROVES DIALOGUE WITH CATHOLICISM RHODES, Greece -- An historic picture of an historic moment: the meeting of representatives of Eastern Orthodox Churches as they agreed, unanimously, to enter into “dialogue” with the Roman Catholic Church. The split of Orthodoxy with Roman Catholicism dates from 1054. Only major Orthodox body not represented was the Orthodox Church in Greece which had refused to send delegates and had opposed talks with the Catholic Church. Delegates carefully stressed that “reconciliation,” not “reunion,” was to be the immediate goal of Vatican-Orthodoxy talks. Heading the meeting as chairman was Metropolitan Meliton of Eliupolis and Thera, representative of Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras of Istanbul, supreme leader of Eastern Orthodoxy. He is shown at the head table, standing beneath the crucifix. Conference also decided that Orthodox Churches must decide individually whether to send delegate-observers to the Second Vatican Council’s second session.
