The April 2014 edition of the International Bulletin of Missionary Research (IBMR) published today, carries an important article entitled “Historic Meeting in Albania between Orthodox and Evangelicals to Discuss Mission”. The article by Dr Jim Stamoolis and Dr. Brad Nassif, two of the participants at the LOI consultation at St. Vlash Monastery last September, explains how historic a meeting this was and points to the significance of the on-going work of the LOI.
The article is followed by a shorter article which outlines the growing links between the Overseas Ministries Study Centre (OMSC – home of the IBMR), in New Haven, CT, USA and Orthodox communities concerned for mission. They have a particularly close link with Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, Massachusetts, and the St. Methodius Faith and Heritage Center in Contoocook, New Hampshire, USA. It is highly likely that the Director of the OMSC will participate in the 2014 LOI Consultation.
