The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) saw participation from various Protestant groups, notably through the presence of observers. Key representatives included members from the Lutheran, Anglican, Methodist, and Reformed traditions. These Protestant observers engaged in discussions, contributing to ecumenical dialogue and fostering mutual understanding between Catholic and Protestant denominations. Their involvement marked a significant step towards greater unity among Christian faiths.
