Bishop Asks for Prayer After July 27 Tornadoes
Severe storms, including an EF3 tornado that hit the Fox Cities region on Wisconsin, caused damage the Episcopal Area. Bishop Dan Schwerin asks for prayer.
The National Workshop on Christian Unity (N)WCU has been gathering annually since 1963. Begun by leaders in the Roman Catholic Church, it is an opportunity to learn ecumenical theology, worship together and have fellowship with other Christians in the US.
The United Methodist Ecumenical and Interreligious Training (UMEIT: USA) meets parallel to the NWCU in the same location, allowing for Methodists interested in ecumenism to have further training. Together the NWCU and UMEIT: USA are excellent opportunities for all those interested in ecumenism. Participation for annual conference Christian Unity leaders is strongly recommended, as the event also allows for personal interaction with the Council of Bishops’ ecumenical/interreligious staff.
Partial Scholarship is available for those attending UMEIT: USA and NWCU for the first time. Application deadline is Aug. 30. Learn more.
