WCC head tells Vatican newspaper, shared communion is his goal

The general secretary of the World Council of Churches, the Rev. Samuel Kobia, hopes that by the middle of the 21st century Christians will have reached a level of unity so that they can share Holy Communion together, reports Ecumenical News International. Kobia said this in a front page interview published in the official Vatican daily newspaper l'Osservatore Romano dated 25 January, the day the WCC leader will pray together with Pope Benedict XVI at a ceremony to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The newspaper appeared in Rome on 24 January.
