ARCIMOB catalogue

Series: ARCIMOB (2000), IARCCUM (2001-)

In 2000, Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey and Cardinal Edward Cassidy, the then President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, convoked a conference of Anglican and Roman Catholic bishops at Mississauga in Canada to discern the progress made in theological conversations, and whether closer co-operation could be developed between the two traditions. The bishops recommended establishing the International Anglican-Roman Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission, which has been meeting since 2001.

Some early documents named the Mississauga gathering the “Anglican-Roman Catholic International Meeting of Bishops”, and used the acronym ARCIMOB. Later documents used a variety of names. Although the meeting is a preparatory meeting for the IARCCUM commission, it was only at the Mississauga meeting that IARCCUM was proposed.

NOTE: The following list includes all documents in our ARCIMOB fonds, sorted by category and date. Documents may belong to several fonds, in differing categories depending on their place within that collection. In addition to documents held in the current fonds, there are also documents specifically authored by ARCIMOB.
