Christians from Japan and around the world joined together

Christians from Japan and around the world joined together in a joint Anglican-Catholic march to the Catholic Memorial Cathedral for World Peace in Hiroshima, Japan, on August 5, 2015, as part of the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the U.S. dropping an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Among the marchers were church leaders from seven countries that possess or claim to be protected by nuclear weapons. They came to Japan to listen to atomic bomb survivors and push for a world free of nuclear weapons.

The Ecumenical Prayer Cycle

Prayer is at the very heart of the ecumenical movement. Jesus prayed that we – his followers – may all be one. When we pray with and for one another, we can feel God’s gift of unity.
