A "milestone" for ecumenism in Pakistan KARACHI: Catholics are hailing the appointment of two Protestant teachers of Greek and Hebrew at their main theological center as a landmark move towards ecumenism. Arne Rudovin, a retired bishop of the Church of Pakistan who has taught Greek, and Hebrew language expert Gerald Mall are to lecture the students of the National Catholic Institute of Theology this summer.Mall is the vice-principal of St Thomas Theological College, located on the premises of the Holy Trinity Cathedral. This is the first time that NCIT has introduced Greek and Hebrew language courses for its pupils. The dean of NCIT, Fr Robert McCullough, made the announcement during the release of the institute's annual report.Fr McCullough was quoted by NCIT students last week as saying that the latest staff recruitment was an important step on the less travelled path to ecumenism in Pakistan. Ecumenism, which is a part of the current academic session at NCIT, has become a popular goal for the two denominations in recent years in the face of mounting persecution. KARACHI: There are believed to be some 200 names for Jesus Christ in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, a Christian scholar said here. Paul Herson, a leading theologist and pastor of the Central Baptist Church on Tariq Road, said that knowledge of those names would enrich the lives of all Christians. Some of the names reeled off by Herson are attributes of Christ. __________________________________________________________________________ You have received this email from "TV-Email", developed by Wavetech.
