ARCIC fonds

1970-

Hierarchical context:

The Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission sprang from the historic meeting of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Michael Ramsey, and Pope Paul VI in 1966. The Common Declaration issued on that occasion expressed the intention of both to inaugurate a “serious dialogue” which they hoped would “lead to that unity, for which Christ prayed”.

The Anglican-Roman Catholic Joint Preparatory Commission (ARCJPC) which met in the wake of that meeting gave its report in Malta in January 1968, which set the Commission’s terms of reference.

ARCIC has completed two phases, ARCIC-I (1970-1981) and ARCIC-II (1983-2005) and in 2011 began its third phase, ARCIC-III.

In addition to this archive, ARCIC materials may also be found in the Lambeth Palace Library, the Anglican Centre in Rome, and in the personal papers of several ARCIC members. See the following catalogue entries:

This page lists all documents added to the IARCCUM.org site in order by original publication date. In addition to the documents prepared for the dialogue commissions, there are a number of additional documents that are included because of their relevance to the dialogues.

News articles are not generally included in the dialogue collection. See the news index to access these materials.
