    Christian Unity is closer now that you are here.

    Welcome to the 2016National Workshop on

    Christian Unity.

  • My Sisters and Brothers,

    It is my joy to welcome you to the 2016 National Workshop on Christian Unity. We gather, as we have for more than 50 years, with Christians from all over the world, and with sisters and brothers from the wide family of faith, to seek unity amidst our diversity and solidarity amidst our divergences. For we who are Christians, we gather at the behest of Jesus who prayed that we all may be one.

    This year’s Workshop is a panoply of seminars, plenaries, and conversations with some of the brightest and best thinkers in the ecumenical circle, and within the Interfaith sphere.

    The city of Louisville has opened wide its arms to us, bringing the profound expressions of faith of Thomas Merton, who lived here until his death. One of the largest communions in the United States, the Presbyterian Church (USA) calls Louisville home. The resources of a vibrant interfaith ministry in the city of Louisville promises to help us think together about ways we can honor everyone who seeks to know the holy way, and the Holy One.

    Our theologian in residence, The Reverend Dr. James Forbes is second to none in beloved preachers in the United States. Bishops from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Catholic Church, the United Methodist and Christian Methodist Churches will be with us throughout the week. We continue to be supported by the Kentucky Council of Church-es, and their Interim Executive Director. Our new Network, the Consortium of Evangelical Networks for Unity, has a strong presence this year. For the first time we are partnering with Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary to offer a for-credit course on engaging in pastoral care in multi-faith contexts.

    I am glad you are here. If there is anything at all I might do to make your experience of the Workshop better, please do not hesitate to find me and let me know what it might be. Our planning committee has been working for two years to get ready for these days together. We are committed to make this time together wonderful for everyone here.

    Grace, peace, love, joy and HOPE !

    Wednesday Plenary Luncheon followed by PanelRITA GEORGE-TVRTKOVIĆ, PhD“Backdoor Ecumenism: Lessons from the Millennial Classroom”Sponsored by The Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem

    Many have been asking: how can we get the next generation interested in ecumenism? But this is the wrong question: my experi-ence teaching millennials in the college setting suggests that they can quite easily become in-terested, if the topic is approached through the backdoor. By “backdoor ecumenism,” I mean that discussions of interreligious topics (which tend to attract millennials initially) quite often lead to discussions of ecumenical topics, if we are attentive to the possibility and seize the moment. In short, we should not forget what we already know: interreligious and ecumeni-cal dialogues are of one piece, and we can’t (or

  • shouldn’t) have one without the other. In this plenary, I will discuss examples of “backdoor ecumenism” with millennials in the classroom and around the dialogue table.

    Rita George-Tvrtković (Ph.D., University of Notre Dame) has served as associate director of the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Office for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs and currently is associ-ate professor of theology at Benedictine University, where she specializes in historical theology and medieval and contemporary Christian-Muslim relations.

    Her aspirations for her ministry include justice and peaceful reconciliation efforts within and beyond the gathered Christian community (i.e., through ecumenism and interfaith relationships). Daphne has a heart for celebrating diversity and religious pluralism through creative pedagogy. A self-pro-claimed Philartician™ (i.e., Philosopher | Artist | Mathematician), she seeks to engage in community and curriculum development that promotes inter-disciplinary education and the holistic connectivity of spiritual, creative, and scientific discernment, expansion, and reflection.

    James RacineJames Racine is an ecumenical millennial finishing the final year of his Master of Divinity at Bethel Theological Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. Hailing from Catholic, Baptist and Charismatic streams of faith, he brings a unique perspective and is deeply passionate about the unity of Christ’s Church.

He is a recent graduate of Stillman College (B.A., Reli-gion) in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where he also worked as a municipal police officer for seven years.

    His seminary education is preparation for a calling to pastoral ministry, likely in the baptist tradition. He deeply supports the Church’s commitment to unity and diversity and sees ecumenism as a fruit-ful way to maximize the effectiveness of Christian mission.

  • Rev. Dr. WESLEY ARIARAJAH, Dr. CAROL COOK, and Rev. Dr. CLIFTON KIRKPATRICK“Pastoral Counseling and Ministry in a Multi-Faith Context: A Dialogue with Teachers and Students”

    The session will be presented collaboratively by Professors Ariarajah, Cook, and Kirkpat-rick, together with students from Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary who have been studying this topic together.

    Rev. Dr. Wesley Ariarajah is Professor Emeritus of Theology at Drew University, former Deputy Gen-eral Secretary and Director of the Unit on Dialogue with People of Other Faiths of the World Council of Churches, and author of books such as The Bible and People of Other Faiths, Not Without My Neighbor, and Your God, My God, Our God.

    Rev. RUBÉN AUSTRIA“I Pulled Him Out of the Water”: The Role of the Faith Community in Restoring Hope for Young People in the Juvenile Justice System

    America’s juvenile justice system is in crisis. Rampant abuse, skyrocketing costs, worsen-ing racial disparities, and high recidivism rates demonstrate that a system intended to reform young people is actually making them worse. Yet in the midst of this crisis, communities of faith are playing a key role in developing al-ternatives to incarceration for youth, based on the principles of restorative justice, that are re-turning hope, dignity, and resources to young

    people, families, and communities that have been devastated by incarceration. This work-shop explores the crisis in the juvenile justice system through the story of Miriam’s advocacy for her brother Moses, when the Israelites were slaves in Egypt. The workshop also presents practical, actionable ways that communities of faith can intervene on behalf of young people and families in the justice system

    Rev. Rubén S. Austria is the Founder and Executive Director of Community Connections for Youth, a Bronx-based non-profit organization dedicated to empowering grassroots faith and neighborhood or-ganizations to develop effective community-driven alternatives to incarceration programs for youth. CCFY’s work focuses on building community capacity for juvenile justice reform by bringing the resources of directly affected communities to bear on the most challenging juvenile justice problems, and facilitating system-community partnerships that reduce reliance on incarceration and increase re-in-vestment in impacted neighborhoods. Rev. Austria earned both his bachelors and masters degrees from Cornell University, and attended the Institute for Non-Profit Management at Columbia University. He was awarded a Soros Justice Fellowship in 2007. He lives in the South Bronx with his wife Ivelyse and their son Jaaziah, and enjoys playing jazz and Latin guitar with his family.

    Bishop Teresa SNORTON “Interreligious Prayer in Pastorally Difficult Times”

    Praying together in interfaith circumstances is always a challenge, and even more so in the critical time after heartbreaking violence, such as the shootings in Charleston, California, and other parts of our country. In this seminar we will ask how as people of many faiths we can join together in the crucial act of praying with and for one another. This seminar will be led by Bishop Teresa Snorton of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church who assisted in the pastoral care following the shootings at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina.

    Bishop Teresa Elaine Snorton became the 59th bishop elected in the Christian Methodist Episcopal (CME) Church on June 30, 2010, in Mobile, Alabama. She is the first female bishop of the CME Church. She was assigned as the presiding bishop of the new Eleventh Episcopal District, which includes eleven countries in Central, Southern and East Africa. On March 15, 2011, Bishop Snorton was assigned to the Fifth Episcopal District.

    Dr. KATHRYN JOHNSON and Dr. SUSAN WOOD, SCL “From Dialogue to Declaration: Catholics and Lutherans look for next steps ‘On the Way’”

    Theological dialogues report significant advances toward Christian unity—but what more is needed for our church communities to claim and live out their agreements?

    This seminar will explore that question, begin-ning from the 2015 Declaration on the Way: Church, Ministry and Eucharist commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Susan Wood and Kathryn Johnson, who worked on the document, will describe the process and the text. It contains a “State-ment of Agreements,” 32 common affirma-tions already made by Lutherans and Roman Catholics in dialogue, and also identifies areas of remaining difference with possible ways forward. We will also consider the “what’s next?” and “so what?” questions raised by 50 years of dialogical engagement.

She was renamed the Huck Finn in 1970 and cruised from St Louis for 25 years. In April of 1996, she came to Louisville and was given the name she now bears, the Spirit of Jefferson.

    CEN/CADEIO Wednesday Morning Panel“Pope Francis: Opening the Circle”Panelists: Most Reverend Joseph Tobin, Archibishop of Indianapolis IN , Rev. Joseph Tosini, founder of the John 17 Movement in Phoenix, Arizona, and others.Moderated by Rev. Dr. John Armstrong, founder of CEN (Consortium of Evangelical Networks) and Father Don Rooney, president of CADEIO. All NWCU participants are invited.

    The past year has seen remarkable growth in relationship seeking Christian unity between the Pope Francis and the Evangelical Commu-nity. We have put together a panel of leaders from the two communities who have been personally involved at the center of dialogue.

    UMEIT Wednesday Afternoon Panel“How to Create a Festival of Faiths in Your Hometown”This will be a casual, open discussion with leaders from the Center for Interfaith Rela-tions, who will talk with us about how they create the internationally-renown Festival of Faiths and how we can apply some of those principles in our own contexts. The conversa-tion will take place in the Undercroft of the Cathedral of the Assumption, which is a few blocks from the Galt House. A small bus will be available for those who would prefer to ride (network leaders should see Jean Hawxhurst if they would like to join UMEIT for this, as space will be limited).

  • About the National Workshop

    In 1963, a group of Roman Catholics, inspired by the current work of Vatican II, saw a need to equip local leadership for the task of ecumeni-cal ministry and began an annual meeting with guest speakers and dialogue partners from other churches. In 1969, they formally invited other Christian communions to join them, and today the National Ecumenical Officers of the churches continue their oversight of the workshop, which is planned by the National Planning Committee, a group including the National Ecumenical Officers (or their delegate), the network presidents, the National Chair and leaders of the local commu-nity. The Workshop is sponsored by the National Ecumenical Officers’ Association (NEOA). It was out of the National Workshop that the denomina-tional Networks were born.

    Today the Workshop consists of an overall ecumenical program (and interreligious, as well, where churches ecumenically interact with non-Christian cultures) with plenary speakers and seminars as well as association meetings and formation programs for the Networks them-selves. For over 50 years now, it is the mission of

    Origins of the National Workshop

    the Workshop to celebrate the spirit of unity and understanding by:

    • Providing meeting seminars for all who are concerned with Christian unity: laity, clergy, ecumenical/interreligious officers, theologians, seminarians and staff of ecumenical/interreligious organizations;

    • Stimulating an exchange of ideas and experi-ences among people concerned with Christian unity and the bodies they represent;

    • Being a source of balance between national planning and local responsibility, general ecu-menical discussions and particular interchurch conversations, and regional leadership efforts and local realities;

    • Encouraging denominational Networks to develop and serve as a framework within which they can interact;

    • Celebrating the unity that already exists among Christians and searching for ways to over-come the divisions that remain.

    The logo, affirms the cross which is central to Christian unity. The elements on either side of the cross suggest hands in prayer embracing the cross, at the same time creating the outline of a chalice, which represents the real, although

    imperfect, communion of Christianity, and the anticipated full unity which is the goal of the ecu-menical movement. The late Fr. John R. Fulton designed the logo for the National Workshop on Christian Unity.
