Abstract

52 Thirteen Responses to "Evangelization, Proselytism, and Common Witness" Eugene Daniels (American Baptist) "Evangelization, Proselytism and Common Witness" is a report from the Fourth Phase of the international dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and an ad hoc group of Pentecostal leaders. It high- lights the remarkable progress achieved during almost thirty years of seeking common understanding in matters of Christian faith and prac- tice. The term "unity in diversity" 130) is an apt rubric covering these historic talks. Most of the inter-confessional dialogues currently underway have structural unity as their goal. However, the Catholic- Pentecostal Dialogue has concentrated on developing "a climate of mutual respect and understanding in matters of faith and practice" between classical Pentecostals and the Catholic Church (t 2). This approach celebrates diversity in the body of Christ, yet maintains fidelity to the prayer of Jesus for the unity of all who would own his name and acknowledge his lordship. It is notable that the Dialogue reached agreement with the Second Vatican Council on two crucial points: 1 ) divided witness is a scandal, and 2) what the two traditions share in common is more important than matters separating them (T 9, 130).
