Letter to the editor: Oneness in Christ is celebrated despite different opinions

Notes: The author, who has been an active Anglican for almost 70 years, describes her involvement in her parish church in Ottawa. "Do we all share the same theological understandings ? I am sure we don't". Nevertheless, "Beneath our old roof, all are welcomed, and nurtured in a variety of ways". She mentions the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program which is "a profound way of 'listening to God with children'." Some of the children's parents belong to a church that has just broken away from the Anglican Church of Canada. "Are the children still coming ? Yes. Do we still love one another ? Yes. Surely, the church is greater than any of us. The broken bread speaks of our oneness and our brokenness. Is it not a scandal when we refuse to be nurtured at one table ?"
