August's Essay is Selected
for National Conference
 Bro.
August was informed that an essay written last fall has been
selected by the Catholic Association of Diocesan Ecumenical
and Interreligious Officers (CADEIO) for presentation at the
National Workshop on Christian Unity 2009 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Theological students were asked in their 2008 fall semester
to submit an essay that drew on the theme, “That they
may be one in your hand,” (Ezekiel 37:17) which suggests
a move from apostasy to dispersion to redemption and finally
to unity. The students were to address the ecumenical weaknesses
of their own traditions, reflect on biblical stories that could
strengthen their witness to Christian unity, and then propose
reforms that would enhance their own church’s ecumenical
insight. The essay contest winners from the denominational
ecumenical networks will comment on their essays and lead a
panel discussion in the seminar on ecumenical reforms. All
expenses are paid for this opportunity and a small monetary
scholarship is awarded. Read
