Ecumenical Conference:

"Breaking Down Walls"

Hugh Straub - Part of Panel titled: "How it works: What can we do together?" 

Search for Church Unity Comes to New Orleans

Two dozen Christian clergy and members of the laity gathered in New Orleans September 16-17 for the 2007 Ecumenical Formation Conference, “Breaking Down Walls.”  The conference was the first in a series of efforts sponsored by Louisiana Interchurch Conference to foster interest and participation in the movement for unity among Christians.  Participants had the opportunity to review a history of the ecumenical movement, identify a scriptural basis for ecumenism, and acquire practical suggestions for working together in projects of social justice. 

Fannie Reddix (on right) said: " I have been enlightened this weekend during the workshop.  This kind of activity needs to be expanded."

We received a lot of other positive commentaries as well as ideas on how to improve future workshops.  We appreciate the feedback!
