“Originating in the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 1936, with the hope that other denominations would join in, it took only a few years before the celebration spread far beyond its origins. On this Sunday, as we gather around the Lord’s table, we are reminded of our oneness in Christ and celebrate with our fellow believers the faith and work of the Church worldwide.”

This Sunday, as many people across different denominations partake in our respective communion practices, my prayer is that we truly lament the power we have allowed the Thief to have in our churches and then recommit ourselves to oneness, accord, and unification.
As I thought ahead to World Communion Sunday, Thanksgiving, and the prayers that arise around those celebrations, I began to reflect on our relationships with our neighbors, both nearby and around the world.
