A Catholic parish in Halifax with a deeply ecumenical spirit
Father James Mallon has borrowed some ideas from Protestants. Many of these ideas were already pretty Catholic.
"Do you know what amazes me about Father Mallon’s book?” I said to Pavel Reid, head of outreach for the Archdiocese of Vancouver. Reid had just told me that Catholic dioceses across Canada were using Mallon’s book Divine Renovation as a guide to parish renewal.
“Let me guess,” said Reid. “That he stole it all from the Protestants?”
Precisely.
