Today we went to a special “Ecumenical Center” called Tantur. There are ministers and lay people from all different religions and denominations that live and work here to promote understanding between the various groups. We came to listen to presentations on Jewish/Christian relations and one on the different Christian groups present here. As a fitting end to the day, we went to the Cenacle for a special ecumenical gathering. This is the week of prayer for Christian unity and there have been events at various churches throughout the week. The one tonight was at the Cenacle. It was packed and we had some very nice prayer and singing. I pray that the prayer of Jesus may be realized, “That all may be one.”
