Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontificial Council for Promoting Christian Unity, visited the University of Helsinki's Faculty of Theology on Tuesday 28 April.
The event took place in the Faculty Hall, and the title of Cardinal Koch's presentation was "The Ecumenical Recognition of Baptism". The talk itself, together with the ensuing conversation, provided a very interesting case of the topic of recognition.
The occasion was chaired by the Dean of the Faculty, Ismo Dunderberg. The Faculty Hall was packed full of audience, and the University's Chancellor Thomas Wilhelmsson was also in attendance.
After the Cardinal's talk, there were responses by representatives of the two Centres of Excellence at the Faculty of Theology, Professors Anneli Aejmelaeus and Risto Saarinen.
Cardinal Koch then proceeded to comment the responses by Aejmelaeus and Saarinen.
Before conclusion, the floor was opened for discussion. Bishop emeritus Eero Huovinen was among those who used the opportunity.
