Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

/

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an annual ecumenical celebration. Christians around the world are invited to pray for the unity of all Christians, to reflect on scripture together, to participate in jointly-organized ecumenical services, and to share fellowship.

When does it take place?

In the northern hemisphere, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is traditionally held every year between January 18th (the Feast of the Confession of Saint Peter) and January 25th (the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul). In the southern hemisphere, it is often celebrated during the Pentecost season. Your communities are invited to choose the dates that would be appropriate for your context.

Theme: For this year, the prayers and reflections for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity have been prepared by the faithful of the Armenian Apostolic Church, along with their brothers and sisters of the Armenian Catholic, and Evangelical Churches.

Unity is a divine mandate at the core of our Christian identity, more than simply an ideal. It represents the essence of the Church’s calling –a call to reflect the harmonious oneness of our life in Christ amidst our diversity. This divineunity is central to our mission and is sustained by the profound love of Jesus Christ, who has set before us a unified purpose. As the Apostle Paul asserts in his letter to the Ephesians, “there is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling” (4:4). This Bible verse, chosen for this year, encapsulates the theological depth of Christian unity.

Anglican bishops of Montreal and Quebec respond to Bill 9 / RÉPONSE DES ÉVÊQUES ANGLICANS DE MONTRÉAL ET DE QUÉBEC AU PROJET DE LOI 9

/

The Quebec government’s latest secularism bill will implement a set of heavy-handed solutions to non-existent problems. In doing so, this new law will further restrict the religious freedoms and fundamental human rights of Quebec’s citizens.

We fully support the religious neutrality of the state. A secular state means that our government privileges no particular religion, while creating an environment in which Quebecers of any (or no) religious tradition can fully participate in public life and contribute to the common good.

However, this government continues to enact laws that cross the line from ensuring the religious neutrality of the state to actively interfering in the religious practices of its citizens. It seeks to erase all signs of religion from the public square, rather than understand religious practice as a normal aspect of the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of Quebecers.

Restricting where and when people can pray, what they can wear and what they may eat, is a further erosion of fundamental human rights that all Quebecers—whether they practice a religion or not—should find troubling in a democratic society that values rights and freedoms.

One of our church’s principles of being in relationship with people of other religions is to “meet the people themselves and get to know their traditions.” This approach has helped us change attitudes, challenge stereotypes, and build new relationships with neighbours of other faiths.

We have been enriched and blessed, not impoverished or threatened, by such encounters with these strangers who have now become friends and fellow citizens. It is only by engaging our differences honestly and openly—rather than hiding or suppressing those differences—that we can hope to build a truly secular and pluralistic Quebec that provides all of its citizens with the opportunity to flourish.

We therefore call on the Quebec government to exercise common sense and to respect its citizens’ fundamental rights. This is the only way forward to achieve the peaceful coexistence this proposed law claims to seek.

RÉPONSE DES ÉVÊQUES ANGLICANS DE MONTRÉAL ET DE QUÉBEC AU PROJET DE LOI 9

Le dernier projet de loi sur la laïcité du gouvernement québécois mettra en œuvre un ensemble de solutions répressives à des problèmes inexistants. Ce faisant, cette nouvelle loi restreindra davantage les libertés religieuses et les droits fondamentaux des citoyens québécois.

Nous soutenons pleinement la neutralité religieuse de l'État. Un État laïc signifie que notre gouvernement ne privilégie aucune religion en particulier, tout en créant un environnement dans lequel les québécois de toutes les traditions religieuses (ou sans tradition religieuse) peuvent participer pleinement à la vie publique et contribuer au bien commun.

Cependant, ce gouvernement continue de promulguer des lois qui dépassent la limite entre garantir la neutralité religieuse de l'État et s’ingérer activement dans les pratiques religieuses de ses citoyens. Il cherche à effacer toute trace de religion de la sphère publique, plutôt que de considérer la pratique religieuse comme un aspect normal de la vie quotidienne de centaines de milliers de québécois.

Les restrictions supplémentaires imposées sur les lieux et les moments où les gens peuvent prier, ainsi que sur les vêtements qu'ils peuvent porter et de ce qu’ils peuvent manger, constituent une nouvelle atteinte aux droits fondamentaux que tous les québécois, qu’ils soient pratiquants ou non, devraient trouver préoccupante dans une société démocratique qui valorise les droits et les libertés.

L’un des principes de notre Église en matière de relations avec les personnes d’autres religions est de « rencontrer les gens eux-mêmes et d’apprendre à connaître leurs traditions ». Cette approche nous a aidés à changer les mentalités, à remettre en question les stéréotypes et à établir de nouvelles relations avec nos voisins d’autres confessions.

Ces rencontres avec ces étrangers, qui sont désormais devenus des amis et des concitoyens, nous ont enrichis et bénis, et non appauvris ou menacés. Ce n’est qu’en abordant nos différences de manière honnête et ouverte, plutôt qu’en les cachant ou en les réprimant, que nous pouvons espérer bâtir un Québec véritablement laïc et pluraliste, qui offre à tous ses citoyens la possibilité de s’épanouir.

C’est pourquoi nous appelons le gouvernement du Québec à faire preuve de bon sens et à respecter les droits fondamentaux de ses citoyens. C’est la seule voie à suivre pour favoriser une véritable expression de vivre-ensemble.
