It is indeed shocking to read this statement - EP at large again! I will certainly ask my bishop about this, since I receive monophysites by triple immersion.

To make my point clearer, I have personally only seen one incident of ecumenism in action - it was also EP in UK.

When I was in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 1976, the Franciscans had the habit of playing their organ at full volume during the Divine Liturgy. I don't recall whether the ...
