Kathryn Scott, in her recent blog posts, tells of her experience in Slovakia. She shares her feelings as she worshipped with people from other nations, tribes and tongues. How beautiful it is when Catholics and Protestants worship together! I was struck by the fact that it was two Catholic churches she went to worship with. Not only were all kinds of different ethnic peoples gathered but within the Church there was unity as Protestant and Catholic’s worshiped the living God together.
I long for more of this in our own country, for bridges to be mended and for the Church (capitol ‘C’) to untie with each other, weather within the Protestant tradition or between the Catholic and Protestant traditions, I long for more unity. I think that on that night in Slovakia, when voices were raised in worship, that even Satan himself cowered in fear. There is great power in unity when the Church is one, as it should be.
