Most interesting. I was raised in a family half of whose members were Catholic and the other half Protestant, and because of the strife about religious differences, grew to search for and appreciate the good points of both confessions.

My prayer as an adult is for the reunification of the major streams of Christianity, with a "both/and" openness to exploring Truth, rather than the "either/or" that has characterized our past. I realize this is a nearly impossible task; yet in Christ all things are possible. I believe that many of our internecine conflicts have damaged the Name of Jesus, and that we should work together to agree on what we agree upon, and leave the conflicts "open-ended", as matters of faith that have not yet been completely resolved. "For now we see through a glass darkly..."

This post inspired me to do a little research. I wanted to know (and maybe I missed it in reading the article) what relic is pictured, where it is and who said the words on it. My search led me to a 2004 FR thread posted by Pyro7480 about Tyburn Convent that commemorates Campion's martyrdom.
