This article is an appreciative evaluation of the forty years of Methodist - Roman Catholic dialogue from an Anglican perspective. It explores in particular three issues in the Methodist-Catholic international dialogue which are highly relevant for Anglican-Methodist and Anglican-Roman Catholic dialogue, namely, episcopacy and historic succession, the Petrine ministry, and authority. The suggestion is made that it may be timely to consider an Anglican-Methodist-Lutheran-Roman Catholic conversation of these three issues which are of great importance for the future shape of visible unity.
