New Directions

Here's a title for you; Dr. Antonios Kireopoulos, Associate General Secretary, Faith & Order and Interfaith Relations of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA.  Tony met us (the Dialogue Committee of the Long Island Council of Churches) in Riverhead, Long Island rather than his office in Manhattan; a huge relief not to have to truck into the city on such a hot, muggy day.

Our conversation was free ranging for the most part, but we were able to spend significant time and thought on issues related to Indian Christians.  Many positive suggestions for further connections were forthcoming of folks to meet with to further our message of concern.  They included meeting with representatives of:  World Council of Churches,  Consul General of the India Delegation to the United Nations, and Prime Minister Modi himself when he comes to visit the UN and US this coming September.  Exciting stuff.  We'll see how it goes.
