Victor Kim, lead minister of Grace Presbyterian Church and co-president of the Calgary Council of Churches, says the upcoming Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an ecumenical week bringing people together.
“It brings together people within the Christian tradition from different backgrounds, from different denominations,” he says.
“What we believe is that despite our differences — and there are differences — there is more that unites us. And the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is a week that is intentionally set to have Christians reflect upon those things that unite us. This year in particular it’s the churches in Jerusalem that are taking the lead in putting together material.
“The point is to bring people together to celebrate our unity and the core of our faith. It’s critical at a time like this where people have a sense that religion is something that divides.
“At the crux of our religion, and certainly I think at the crux of every major world religion, is a unifying force. It’s really important for us to be able to share in celebrating that which unites people.
“I think really it is the love of God for people and the love of one another for those who profess faith in God.”
This year the week’s theme is: One in the Apostles’ Teaching, Fellowship, the Breaking of Bread and in Prayer.
The call for unity comes to churches all over the world from Jerusalem, the mother church.
Mindful of its own divisions, and its own need to do more for the unity of the Body of Christ, the churches in Jerusalem call all Christians to rediscover the values that bound together the early Christian community in Jerusalem and to make this week of prayer an occasion for a renewed commitment to work for a genuine ecumenism, grounded in the experience of the early Church, says literature promoting the week.
