The Malines Conversations Group, an informal Anglican-Roman Catholic dialogue group which seeks to repeat the spirit of the original Malines conversations of the 1920s, met in Helsinki from 20 to 26 April 2024.  A range of subjects was covered, including theological anthropology, the nature of AI, transhumanism, and the contribution of the esoteric tradition and Christian mysticism to consideration of the human person and ministry.  The Group published a document on the Catholic view of Anglican orders, Sorores in Spe, in 2021, and is doing further work on issues of mutual ecumenical interest.
