The invitation to Baptist students to continue their seminary training and welcoming Dr. Myles Werntz to direct the center was significant given ACU\u2019s affiliation with Churches of Christ. In this conversation, the participants reflect on the formation of the center and the ecumenical spirit of Christian unity it implies. This is the first dialogue of the Nesti Center for Faith &amp; Culture Ecumenical and Interfaith Sub-Committee, which seeks to make God\u2019s ongoing, loving encounter with humanity known through meaningful ecumenical and interfaith efforts. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"style-scope ytd-expander\">\n<div class=\"style-scope
