OUR AIM

The aim of the Walking Together Foundation is to help realise the vision set forth in the Common Declaration by initiating and funding ecumenical outreach projects anywhere in the world addressing serious social need, including the advancement of education, the prevention or relief of poverty, the advancement of health and the saving of lives. The Foundation supports projects that are ecumenical in nature, i.e. jointly sponsored by the Roman Catholic Church and member churches of the worldwide Anglican Communion, or by either or both of them in partnership with other Christian traditions with whom they are engaged in ecumenical dialogue.

OUR NAME

The name of the Walking Together Foundation is intended to convey the spirit of the Common Declaration, and recalls Pope Francis’ observation, in relation to Christian unity and the ecumenical dialogues, that:

“Unity is made by walking, in order to recall that when we walk together, that is, when we meet [and] pray together, we collaborate together in the proclamation of the Gospel, and in the service to the least, we are already united.”

OUR LOGO

The logo of the Foundation, a roundel encircling the Cross from which leaves and branches sprout, is intended to reflect the new growth that results from Christians of different traditions walking and working together to help those in need or on the margins of society.
