Does CCT have any bearing on Evangelicals and Catholics Together?
No ECT is a different thing. ECT is much more directed to serious theological engagement, and aimed at bringing Catholics and evangelicals into a more unified effort on behalf of enormous cultural issues such as the culture of life versus the culture of death. It's unlikely that CCT would be addressing some of these major moral cultural challenges, not least because there is very little agreement within some of the churches and institutions that are part of CCT.
