Description: New video available to view now: Theologians in Conversation: The Council of Florence - One of the great 'wounds' in Christianity is the division of separating the churches of 'the east' and of 'the west'. The council held, on and off, in Florence between 1438 and 1445, was the last time they formally met to discuss their differences in the hope of finding reconciliation. That meeting failed in its objective, but discussing it not only helps Christians today see how they are separated, but possible ways towards greater mutual understanding.
