Pope meets head of World Council of Churches
Pope Benedict XVI today met with the leader of the World Council of Churches in another indication of his attempts to improve relations with other Christians and heal the 1,000-year-old rift with the Orthodox Church.
The Reverend Samuel Kobia, a Methodist pastor and the general secretary of the Geneva-based World Council of Churches, was in Rome for a four-day visit that included talks with Benedict’s top ecumenical official, Cardinal Walter Kasper.
