In the late 1990s discussions began to take place about a possible initiative involving new church charismatic leaders with leaders from CCR. A prime mover was Kim Kollins, an American convert to Catholicism from an independent charismatic background, who had come to Europe as a missionary, and rather quickly became a Catholic. The fruit has been a series of meeting entitled Gatherings in the Holy Spirit, gathering leaders from both sides and meeting every two years—always in Rome at the request of the "nondenominationals." From these meetings came provisional discussions between the "nondenom" leaders and officials of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the Unity of Christians, which have led in 2012 to the decision to begin a three-year round of conversations in 2014 on the theme, "Authority, Revelation, and the Word of God."
