\"\"<\/p>\n

This week, we\u2019ll be celebrating the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity by highlighting historical figures who were practicing ecumenism before it was cool, acting with charity and forbearance toward their fellow Christians.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Count Nikolaus von Zinzendorf (1700 \u2013 1760) was the Bishop of the Moravian Church and the founder of the Church of the Brethren. He created a collection of around 150 Protestant hymns for Catholic use titled Christ-catholisches Singe-und Bet-Buechlein<\/em>, the \u201cChristian Catholic Booklet for Song and Prayer.\u201d This act of unity and good will was apparently well-received; according to Zinzendorf, the hymnal was \u201ctruly received with joy by many honorable and open-minded people of the Catholic Church, and used with blessings for their hearts.\u201d *<\/p>\n
