The Initiative Staff

This month, we celebrate The Initiative becoming an organizational member of Christian Churches Together. We're also anticipating a riveting Zoom conversation coming up in a couple of weeks and we're starting to get ready for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.

This month, we're talking about the perception and reality of "love at the center of everything we do" and announcing the launch of our weekly Zoom gathering for prayer, conversations & interviews, Scripture study and exploring historic & emerging developments in Christian unity.

Special Annual Gathering issue.

As we start another calendar year, I've continued to pray and reflect on the theme of tables and how God wants to expand who we "sit with" and how we "sit together". I've got more thoughts to share (next update!) but I have a strong sense that our experience of this has the potential to be both more joyful and more challenging than we can imagine.

This month's update includes the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, more Zoom prayer & conversation, details on our national gathering in June, and something called "JC2033"

This month, after reflecting on the past week at the CCT Forum, we invite you to our monthly Zoom times for prayer and for conversation, and to join Christians from many traditions and convictions in prayer & fasting against violence.

This month, we continue with both our Zoom prayer and conversation gatherings, explore another emerging unity resource (that came from the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity), highlight a couple of events coming up, and take a quick glimpse into Scott's campus world.
