Among the many questions that arise from the idea of evangelicals and Catholics working together in common gospel proclamation, these are two of the biggest:
1) Can these two groups, authentically and in faithfulness to their traditions, work together in proclaiming a common gospel?
2) Are there concrete examples of this actually happening consistently and fruitfully?
The evangelical leader John Armstrong, who used to think the answer to question #1 was no, provides an affirmative answer to both questions now. He highlights the work of a Chicago ministry that I have connections to, Emmaus Ministries. No matter how you answer those two questions, Armstong's piece is worth your attention. Green was also the focus of a shortpiece by Christianity Today in 2000. Green's book explaining the history and purpose of Emmaus Ministries is out soon and available at Amazon.
