...last week fevers on both sides abated, proving once again that the shifting politics of the Middle East can make the best of bedfellows transients, or the worst of enemies useful, in short order.

What makes the council so anxious for conversation is concern that Eastern Orthodoxy may yet swing toward Rome.
