www.FaithConnectsUs.org is a new website launched during the "New Fire: Young Adult Ecumenical Days", a gathering of young adult ecumenists from the United States that took place in Denver, Colorado, 8 - 10 November 2008. The participants expressed a strong desire to deepen the relationship with one another, to work more effectively to be the body of Christ to the world and to add 'New Fire' to the ecumenical movement.
According to David Fraccaro, young adult ecumenical formation coordinator for the US Conference for the World Council of Churches, "it is clear that there is a renewed young adult movement emerging in the United States, both on an institutional as well as on a grassroots level", but that there has been little coordination of the efforts aimed at the maintenance of awareness and relationships. "New Fire provided a space for representatives from numerous young adult ecumenical initiatives to connect with one another, and to build the foundations for a sustainable movement."
The new website www.FaithConnectsUs.org, run by the US Conference for the World Council of Churches (WCC), provides a space for young adult ecumenists to share with one another, view resources and events, and deepen their involvement in the movement.
