Hello,
In my community, arrangements have been made for a unity service on Martin Luther King Day to be held at noon at the Methodist Church. Ministers of all denominations will be coming from all over the community to participate and give this service together - including Father Norman, the priest at St. Joseph's. People of all denominations are invited to come and worship together.
Does anyone else have something similar going on in their community? Have you heard of something like this before? It sounds like it could potentially be a wonderful thing - but on the other hand, it seems as though it's also having Catholics admit that we are just another denomination among many, and not the True Church. But perhaps that's not the right attitude to have? What do you think?
I can't decide what my opinion is, though I think the potential for good is much greater than anything negative that might come out, and I do plan on attending.
