Earlier this year Glenmary joined a Week of Prayer for Christian Unity with an ecumenical prayer service at the Our Lady of the Fields Chapel in Cincinnati, Ohio. Several Cincinnati-area pastors, ministers, and Christian leaders joined the celebration.

Nathan Smith, director of ecumenism for Glenmary, led and organized the event. Father Aaron Wessman led the liturgy and Joshua Lenon, pastor of Red Door Church, delivered the sermon that focused on unity and the Nicene Creed.

“The creed allows Protestants, Catholics, or any other Christian to say what I believe is what you confess to believe,” Joshua says. “We have a holy work to do together.”

This global movement is supported by the World Council of Churches and the Pontifical Dicastery for the Promotion of Christian Unity, with materials published by Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute.
