World Council of Churches Seeks Unity
[World Council
of Churches Seeks Unity Proclaiming
the Gospel Ministries] "A symbolic
act of pouring water into one common
vessel, carried out by religious
leaders representing Christian,
Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist
faiths, marked the significance of
water in various religious
traditions. This action took place
at the World Council of Churches (WCC)
10th Assembly in the Republic of
Korea. In almost all religions water
is a symbol of cleansing, justice,
and peace; and it is therefore
profoundly relevant to the WCC
assembly theme. The ceremony came as
a joint initiative of the WCC's
program for inter-religious dialogue
and cooperation. It was opened by
the WCC general secretary who
offered Christian theological
reflections on water.

[Mike Gendron Comment] The only
unity worth seeking is the unity of
the Spirit. "For in one Spirit we
were all baptized into one body,
Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, and
all were made to drink of one
Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:13)."
