Programme of Courses in 2012
 "…being my first time in Rome, this course has brought tremendous benefits to my spirituality and perception of real ecumenism devoid of bitterness or suspicion. How I had wished that many more members of the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches would be brought together more regularly in this way!"
“The course was great. If only there were funds to run it 1000 times over the problems of the Communion could largely be resolved.”
“I’m sure you have experienced those special moments when events and personalities converge in such a way that you arrive at a turning point in your life. The week of the course has been that for me.”
