That All May be One

A year of reflections Here is a year's worth of reflections from a Catholic perspective, sixty-four short essays on Christian unity as a spirituality that is nurtured by the Eucharist and celebrated throughout the liturgical seasons. Ecumenism is a worldview that recognizes the scandal of denominational divisions, and that needs to heal those divisions and repent of past sins and present obstacles. Healing requires a conversion of the hearts and minds of the people in the pew, not just theologians. The author presents the Eucharist as key to that healing and inner conversion.
