INTER-RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY SET FOR ROME IN OCTOBER 1999 VATICAN CITY, FEB 28, 1998 (Vatican Informatin Service) A communique released today by the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue announced that "during the second half of October 1999, an inter-religious assembly will be held in Rome, and will have as its theme "On the Threshold of the Third Millennium: Collaboration among Diverse Religions." "In 'Tertio Millennio Adveniente'," begins the communique, "the Holy Father indicated 1999 as a year to be dedicated, among other things, to an encounter with other religions. It is in this sense that, within the various initiatives aimed at celebrating the Jubilee of the Year 2000, the Committee of the Presidency of the Great Jubilee of 2000 charged the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue with organizing an inter-religious assembly." After announcing the October 1999 meeting, the note adds: "The meeting will take place in diverse moments: there will be plenary sessions, work groups, a day for a pilgrimage, probably to Assisi, and a concluding day of prayer which will include fasting, prayers in different places for different religions and a concluding ceremony in St. Peter's Square in the presence of the Holy Father." .../INTER-RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY/...

VATICAN PRESENTS GUIDELINES ON CHRISTIAN UNITY TRAINING March 9, 1998 Vatican City (AP) The Vatican released a detailed teaching plan Monday to instill the spirit of Christian unity in seminarians. The guidelines, aimed also at Catholic schools and universities, are another sign of Pope John Paul II's emphasis on the ecumenical movement the effort to bring closer Christianity's different branches. The effort is considered especially important in Eastern Europe, where the church has clashed with the Orthodox church over Roman Catholic efforts to win followers. Catholics also compete for followers with Protestant groups in Latin America and Africa. "We would like to see our future seminarians ... know exactly what ecumenism is, and how it should be taught,'' Cardinal Edward Idris Cassidy told reporters. Cassidy heads the Vatican's Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity, which published the 32-page document in four languages. He warned that Catholics seeking closer ties with other Christians should not forget "the requirements of revealed truth'' of their faith or ignore Catholic Church norms. The document, "The Ecumenical Dimension in the Formation of Those Engaged in Pastoral Work,'' said the idea of Christian unity should be instilled in all areas of priestly formation. The booklet provides general information about the Orthodox and Protestant churches and recommends visits to those churches and common prayer and study sessions. ************************************************************************
