“Significant theological convergence that has been realized on such fundamental themes as revelation, faith, scripture and tradition,” Mbang told the Pope. “That there are still doctrinal matters to be settled between Methodists and Catholics.”

He also explained that the Council is moving forward with a process to adopt a landmark joint Catholic-Lutheran statement on Justification.

All good news of course. But who are these guys? I think it was the Methodists (being a fracture of Anglicans being a fracture of Catholics) who crossed the Appalachian mountains, instituted lay circuit riders to minister to the remote mountain people, that being the genesis of evangelical Christians in southern USA organized around the local church building and ministering to themselves with the Bible.
