An ecumenical service is held at St. James Cathedral during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in January. This year’s theme for the week was “Justice, only justice, you shall pursue” (Deuteronomy 16 – 12:20). The week is an annual celebration that invites Christians around the world to pray for the unity of all Christians, reflect on scripture together, participate in ecumenical services and share fellowship.
The choir of St. James Cathedral begins the service.
The Rev. Dr. Karin Achtelstetter, executive director designate of Canadian Lutheran World Relief, reads the first lesson.
Young choristers from St. Michael’s Choir School in Toronto sing with the congregation.
