ATIME: a model of Christian unity in action

An address delivered to the General Assembly of the Association of Theological Colleges and Institutes in the Middle East (ATIME) in Cairo on 17 July 2026. It describes the Association as a "living prophecy" and a "laboratory of unity" where students from different ecclesial traditions learn to listen and dialogue before judging, and calls on Church leaders to invest in theological education as an investment in the future of both Church and society, closing on Christ's prayer: "That they may all be one... so that the world may believe that You have sent Me."
