CHRISTIAN UNITY WEEK – IN ACTION

Sunday Jan 20, 2019 in All Saints Cathedral (Anglican church) – there was a concrete experience of what it means to talk about Christians being united. The Anglican pastor of this beautiful Anglican church invited the Daughters of St Paul to participate in the Anglican worship and to make a Book & Media Display for his parishioners.

Sisters joined in the worship which is actually the Mass, almost identical to our Catholic Mass – the same readings, the same prayers and liturgical gestures. The parishioners were happy to see us and respond splendidly to our Display of books, AV and religious items. In fact, it was reported that some of them went the same day to our Bookshop to get more items and more reading materials.

All the credit must go to Reverend Samson Fan who took this initiative to put the Christian Unity Week in action. He had come a few times to our Bookshop to acquire materials for spirituality especially Ignatian spirituality. Last year he showed the  DVD St Ignatius and many of his parishioners bought for themselves. Again last week he spoke about the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius and 15 copies were sold.

My own feelings about this special event commemorating the usual Christian Unity Week is that I was overjoyed by everything that happened on that Sunday in All Saints Cathedral. I have not yet experienced a Christian parish inviting a Catholic group like us, Daughters of St Paul, to participate in their Sunday worship and to bring our spiritual treasures of books and religious articles to their people. And the best part is that they were so responsive to our sharing.

The Anglican parish gave us all the helps necessary to make the event a success. The  personnel were so friendly and ensured the location for the Book Display was just right. At the English worship that I attended, I was given a few minutes to introduce our congregation and our mission. I declined the invitation to speak at the Cantonese worship because I felt inadequate in my Cantonese language skill. But the Reverend Samson more than made up for me by speaking at length about  our mission and our spirituality. He was really very encouraging and supportive. There were two other foreign pastors who were equally friendly and responsive.

We praise the Lord Jesus Christ who does marvels for us, and will continue to do so. We want to be willing hands to carry out his plan of THAT ALL  MAY BE ONE as Jesus is one with the Father and we are one in the Lord Jesus.
