Running parallel to the Lausanne-Orthodox Initiative (LOI) is the Lausanne-Catholic Initiative which is exploring the future of relationships between Evangelical and Catholic Christians. They have recently released three  videos of the proceedings at their last consultation in Chicago.  You can find these videos (called “Lausanne Conversations 1/2/3” at http://www.act3network.com/videos – but you need to scroll down the page quite a way to find them.

The Lausanne-Catholic Initiative will be holding its third consultation, again in Chicago, USA from 2-5 September 2015 – at exactly the same time as the LOI meets in Finland. We will be praying for each other at that time.
