ARC-Canada has met regularly since 1971. The theological dialogue works in concert with the ARC-Bishops’ Dialogue, established in 1975. Inspired by the apostle Peter’s exhortation to offer ‘an account of the hope that is in you’ (1 Peter 3:15), members of the Anglican-Roman Catholic Dialogue of Canada (ARC Canada) are working on a project aimed at giving such an account with one voice.
