Between 16-17 September 2024, the two churches held a meeting at a Communiqué relating to their churches. Both church families emphasized building relations of love in Christ, deepening mutual understanding, continuous dialogue, and relentless prayers to foster potential unity. Potential future plans include continuing the work of Joint Sub-Committees on liturgical and pastoral issues, visiting church primates to communicate dialogue outcomes, creating a joint website for document accessibility, and involving all levels of clergy, monastics, and laity in implementing the dialogue.[1]
