Editorial Reviews

Timothy George, Dean Beeson Divinity School Christianity Today, Senior Editor

Here is an honest conversation between two deeply committed men of faith, an Evangelical pastor and a Catholic priest, about their shared faith in Jesus Christ. I recommend this resource to all who are interested in Christian unity, in keeping with a prayer of Jesus himself that his disciples be one as he and the Father are one, so that the world may believe.

Product Description

This DVD is a revealing and candid conversation between the leaders of two large churches in Troy Michigan, just North of Detroit: Father John Riccardo of St. Anastasia Roman Catholic Church, and Pastor Steve Andrews of Kensington Community Church. Seeking common ground, "the priest and the pastor" respectfully examine the similarities between the two great traditions they represent. Regardless of your religious background, you'll be intrigued by their open discussion about:

* Salvation

* Holy Eucharist

* The Virgin Mary

* Confession

* The Saints

* Prayer & Worship

* Evangelism

* Christian Unity

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Dialogue, January 7, 2008

By	Susan (Franklin, TN) - See all my reviews

As a former Protestant, I have heard many derogatory comments and misconceptions about what I believe as a Catholic. I love this video because both men are willing to listen to the other without disagreeing or debating their beliefs. It's an open, honest conversation where both men respect each other's faith traditions. Although it does not address every single misconception that Protestants have about Catholic beliefs, it hits many of the big ones, such as Mary, Confession, and Salvation. Both Catholics and Protestants would benefit and learn so much by watching this with an open heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must see!!!, October 28, 2007

By	Jamie Bolton - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first time I saw this on TV, I was so absorbed, that I attempted to stay awake long enough to see it in its entirety. It didn't start until midnight on a local Christian channel, and I just couldn't quite make it. When I found it on Amazon, I ordered it immediately, and so should you!! Every Catholic and Protestant should see this movie. Father John Riccardo does a beautiful job of answering all questions and addresses many misconceptions about the Catholic Church. If we could all reach this level of understanding, there would be much more acceptance and love toward one another as we are commanded to do by Our Lord.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peaceful coexistance?, June 22, 2008

By	Stratiotes Doxha Theon "2 Thes 2:15" (Richmond, Missouri) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

With candor and charity, a Roman Catholic Father expounds upon the faith through an interview by a Protestant minister. The love the two men have for one another is apparent in this refreshing, inviting, and educational exchange. A must see for anyone interested in what Catholic and Protestant hold in common without the sellout of either side. Perfect unity may be elusive so long as the differences are significant but charity and understanding short of that perfect communion can still be accomplished to a small degree. We can praise God for small yet significant victories in understanding.

Father Riccardo's responses to Pastor Andrews' queries are revealing, theologically sound, charitable, and yet without compromise. The charity of these two men is profound and enlightening. The love and respect they have for one another is worth the price of the video in itself. The Protestant/Catholic differences are significant and cannot be ignored yet we must learn to deal with those differences without hateful polemic and begin to understand one another in charity and mutual respect as human beings.

The world has seen a divided church for too long and for too long we have busied ourselves more with flinging accusations at one another rather than seeking to undermine the work of the other. Our differences are indeed significant and cannot be compromised but they will only be resolved in seeking truth and understanding where ever it leads. This video is not yet another touchy/feely unity-at-any-cost ecumenical siren - this is a call for unity through real understanding based on an objective search for truth. Unity can never be placed as a goal above objective truth and these two men of faith have given us the keys to finding a form of unity that will not sacrifice the search for truth. Very praiseworthy and enlightening. Perfect for small group studies and personal education. A must have.
