Over 80,000 participated. Pope Benedict read a message\u00a0and, for the first time, acknowledged sexual abuse in the German church. 125,000 are registered for the conference, and 300,000 are expected for the closing service on Sunday. Sponsored by Catholic and Lutheran lay organizations and church officials, with participation by pastors and bishops and political leaders and societal figures. Sessions on bible, prayer, social justice; concerts, plays, cultural offerings, youth\u00a0activities. It&#8217;s huge.<\/p>\n<p>You might recall that Fr. Gotthold Hasenh\u00fcttl got suspended in 2003 for celebrating a common Eucharist with Protestants at the first such ecumenical <em>Kirchentag<\/em> in Berlin. This time around everyone seems to be respecting the rules, but not without several Protestants noting that the Catholic Church is dragging its feet on intercommunion and still does not officially consider Protestants to constitute a &#8220;church.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Let us keep praying and working for church unity!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today the 2nd ecumenical church conference opened in Munich with over 80,000 participants at 3 simultaneous outdoor worship services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[13],"tags":[760],"class_list":["post-1903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ecumenism","tag-kirchentag"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
