The Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission - called ARCIC III - has announced that the first meeting of the third phase of dialogue (dubbed ARCIC III) will be held at our monastery of Bose on 17–27 May 2011.

We are grateful to the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and to the Department of Faith, Unity, and Constitution of the Anglican communion for having chosen our monastery as a propitious place for their fraternal dialogue. On our part, we wish to assure them already of our prayers and our commitment that the Commission’s meeting might take place in the best possible way and may bring fruit according to the Lord’s will.
