"God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us... Oriental Orthodox [Monophysite], Orthodox, Catholic, and Evangelical... We renew our commitment to strive to be [the] One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, according to the will of the Lord Jesus, 'so that they may be one' (John 17:11)... by opening our hearts and minds to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, so that we encounter each other cooperatively, with respect, and with kindness. In Him, we are one."
