It looks like that dinner photo I posed in the Ecumenism thread wasn't just a one time thing...
Almost two weeks ago at the St Ignatius Orthodox Theological Seminary in Sweden the Syriac Orthodox Archbishop of Sweden Benjamin Atas, the Coptic Orthodox Bishop of Scandinavia Anba Abakir, the Serbian Orthodox Bishop of Scandinavia and Great Britain Dositej, and Romanian Orthodox Bishop of Northern Europe Macarie Dragoi signed a deal to cooperate in the Seminary.

The cooperation will occur through St. Ignatius Seminar. The seminar covers both the Oriental (Syrian Orthodox, Coptic, Ethiopian, Armenian) and Byzantine (Russian, Greek, Serbian, etc.) Church families and is the first of its kind in the world. The seminar wants, through its teaching, to work for a complete reunion to take place between the two Church families and a way for this is to study theology and the Church Fathers together.
