We participated in World Communion Sunday today at our church. This event takes place every year on the first Sunday in October in many churches throughout the world. It is an opportunity to unite in ecumenical worship with our brothers and sisters in Christ from other denominations. Today we celebrated the eucharist with our Lutheran, Episcopal, Baptist and Catholic neighbors in the middle of downtown Huntington. It was an amazing experiece. I was filled with awe to know that at the very same moment I was partaking in the sacraments, there were people all around the world doing the very same thing.
Towards the end of the service, one of the ministers made a comment that really touched my heart. He said, "What brings us all together, our faith in Jesus Christ, is far greater than those things which divide us."
