This choral reading of Romans 5:1-5 is adapted for up to 9 ensemble members.

Gesturer: Hope.

Speaker 1: Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand;

Speaker 2: and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. 

Speaker 3: And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings,

Speaker 4: knowing that suffering produces endurance, 

Speaker 5: and endurance produces character,

Speaker 6: and character produces hope, 

Speaker 7: and hope does not disappoint us,

Speaker 8: because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

The word of the Lord.

Receptive Ecumenism in Neighborhoods, Soccer Fields, and Workplaces

This session will explore how to talk about differences in Catholic and Protestant worship. Every time we talk with a neighbor, teammate, or coworker from a different Christian tradition about what we do in worship and why, we are practicing liturgical theology. When marked by both conviction and humility, these conversations have rich potential for building holy friendships and deepening our worship of God. Yet they can also backfire, perpetuating stereotypes and leaving us unsure about the point of common practices. Come to this session to learn from veteran participants in both formal ecumenical dialogues and informal neighborhood conversations about how we can engage with believers across the Protestant-Catholic divide in constructive and healing ways.
