Yep, just another "ecumenical" movement that ignores the various, contradictory and antithetical theological systems of the participating groups and churches, aka: "lowest common denominator theology".  What grabbed my attention were the following statements: An ecumenical summit of leaders from Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist and Presbyterian churches and organizations affirmed common theological ground and sought practical ways of working together during a recent conference in Dallas, TX.
1) Sharing training opportunities 2) Sharing information and resources, including the use of web-based technologies 3) Engaging in joint ministries and offering incubator facilities to support new church plants 4) Providing theological education, including remote theological education domestically and globally 5) Identifying locations where we can encourage catalytic leadership toward collaborative church plants. 6) Sharing space with dislocated congregations
We commit ourselves anew to Christ and to one another. We recognize that the Holy Spirit has called us together, and that only through the Spirit can we hope to accomplish what we have set forth today. Really, now... what does this tell you when the PCA, United Methodist, PC(USA), Anglican and Lutheran denominations state that they can work together to bring the "gospel" to the world and share theological training, etc.? In my experience over the years seeing these type of movements come and go, they generally gather around their agreement concerning social issues, particularly abortion. Today, of course, homosexual marriage is thrown into the mix.
