FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Rev. Garry Squire was a most welcomed guest here on Friday evening 19 January. He was invited to address us in the course of a prayer service for The Week Of Prayer For Christian Unity.
The event gave an opportunity for a few members of his flock at Messiah Lutheran Church to join 25 Holy Child parishioners to share prayer and sing hymns.
The Reverend Squire gave a brief overview of Christian separatism, a brief exposition of Lutheranism, shared personal recollections of his youth and engaged in Q – A period.
During the course of the presentation, Pastor Squire was joined by Pastor Wolfgang of Christ Lutheran Church to provide further insight to the Lutheran perspective vis-à-vis some Catholic positions.
It is hoped that the intention of the opening prayer of that evening will come to pass:
“Lord, thou whose Son didst pray that all thy children might be one in thee, we come with repentance for the sin of useless division, and for the secret vice of pride. We
beg forgiveness for harsh judgment, for prejudice nourished as a virtue, for self-will, for scorn of others, whose experience before thee is as valid as our own.”
