SUMMARY:Holy Week Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Jesus said\, “I have told you these things\, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). This scripture passage may have new meaning for each of us during  Holy Week\, where Christians throughout the world are celebrating the life\, death\, and resurrection of Jesus Christ amidst the present realities of the coronavirus. \nHere in Boston\, we are offering an opportunity for Christians to reflect together on the challenges they are experiencing amidst the coronavirus and resources for finding strength. Our hope is that together we could have meaningful conversations on how we are identifying with the life and passion of Jesus in this time of unprecedented crisis. \nIn small groups\, you’ll have an opportunity to connect with others\, taking time to be heard by and to hear from them. This dialogue will take place on Saturday morning April 11th at 10:30am using Zoom\, an online meeting platform. Join us for a FREE dialogue to build compassion\, connection\, and hope. \nTo register\, click here.

SUMMARY:2020 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
DESCRIPTION:The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an international initiative where Christians worldwide are reminded of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples that “they may be one so that the world may believe” (John 17:21).Locally\, UniteBoston coordinates evening collaborative gatherings of fellowship\, prayer and worship from January 18-25 annually. \n\nIn 2020\, the theme is “They Showed Us Unusual Kindness\,” (Acts 28:2) which was chosen by Christians in Malta. Malta\, an island in the Mediterranean Sea\, received the Christian faith through the efforts of the Apostle Paul\, after he was shipwrecked there while travelling to Rome (Acts 27:18 – 28:10). The local islanders showed Paul and the early disciples unusual kindness and hospitality through building a fire and welcoming them in\, despite the rain and cold. This posture of hospitality and welcoming of the stranger is a strong theme throughout the Biblical narrative. In a world where deep differences often keep people divided\, it’s as we adopt a posture of showing “unusual kindness” to other Christians and people of all backgrounds that we become witnesses of God’s love to all people. \nJoin in! \nMark Your Calendars – You are invited to mark your calendars and plan to attend the evening gatherings! People who attend from night to night will experience the Church in Boston in her diverse array of ethnicities\, traditions\, and geography.

We encourage you to attend neighborhood dinners in homes to nurture fellowship and prayer across our churches at the local level with our team of neighborhood dinner coordinators. \nSpread the Word – We also appreciate help spreading the word to people in your congregation\, family\, friends\, and neighbors.

SUMMARY:Seeking Host Churches for Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Services
DESCRIPTION:Dear Pastors and Leaders\, \n\n\n\nFor the past two years\, the Institute for Christian Unity and UniteBoston have partnered together to host Week of Prayer for Christian Unity gatherings. In 2017\, there were nightly liturgically-oriented prayer and worship gatherings with churches from a variety of ethnicities\, traditions\, and geography. We also hosted a large worship service on January 21st in alignment with the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation\, that had over 8 co-sponsors and was attended by over 800 people. In 2018\, we focused on fellowship across our congregations\, and hosted 7 dinners in different neighborhoods in alignment with the launch of UniteBoston’s neighborhood dinner initiative. \n\n\nIn 2019\, the theme is “Justice\, Only Justice\, You Shall Pursue\,” (Deuteronomy 16:20). This year’s prayer service includes reflection on the recurring situations that bring divisions and conflicts and our calling as members of the body of Christ to pursue and embody justice. \n\n\nUniteBoston is currently seeking interest among a variety of local pastors for hosting a prayer service during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 18 to 25\, 2019).  The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity includes a wide variety of churches from very different traditions\, polity and theology\, and while it can be challenging to come together\, this is a crucial time to witness to the reconciling peace and justice found in our Christian faith. \n\n\n\nClick here for more information about this year’s theme and expectations for hosting.  Please email Kelly Fassett (kelly@uniteboston.com) if you’re interested in hosting one of the services by December 5th. This will allow us time to consider all the night-to-night prayer and worship gatherings and neighborhood dinners and finalize the schedule. Thanks so much for your commitment to Christian unity in Boston!

SUMMARY:"Neighborly Faith" Interviews - Share your story!
DESCRIPTION:Chris Stackaruk and Kevin Singer are co-founders of the Neighborly Faith Initiative\, and are traveling to Boston to interview Catholics and Evangelicals involved in UniteBoston for an upcoming podcast series entitled: “Divided We Stand?: Evangelicals and Catholics Search for Common Ground.” \nGod calls us to love our neighbors of different beliefs and faiths\, and they are investigating how Evangelicals can become better neighbors to Catholics\, and vice versa. Cooperation and dialogue between Catholics and Evangelicals is uncommon. They are investigating why this is the case and showcasing inspirational exceptions. \nWe are planning to meet at a home in Brookline on the evening of Monday June 18th for the interviews. Please stop by anytime between 4 and 8pm; food will be provided! For those who would like to hang out\, there may also be outdoor worship in the adjacent park. If you are a Catholic or Evangelical who would like to share your story\, please email kelly@uniteboston.com. Thank you!

SUMMARY:Loving and Listening: Theology Students Breaking Bread Together
DESCRIPTION:As future clergy\, scholars and community leaders\, theology students in Boston will need to learn to speak across deep divides of faith and spirituality. “Loving and Listening” is a series of conversations this Lent in which people from different traditions get to know one another and hear one another’s stories\, learning to come together as people\, and not as political or theological adversaries. We often focus on what separates us\, but might there be more in common that we first think?  \nThis event is open to all students studying theology in Boston. Contact Kelly Steinhaus (ksteinha@bu.edu) for more information or to RSVP.

SUMMARY:The New England City Forum
DESCRIPTION:February 15\, 2018 //  9am-4:30pm  //  Mt. Zion Baptist Church\, Springfield\, MA // Free Event\n \nAbout the Forum \nDiverse leadership teams from key New England cities will gather for a one-day forum on February 15\, prior to Vision New England’s Go Conference (February 16 and 17 in Springfield\, MA). This is the third New England City Forum. Last year’s forum in Worcester had 103 participants from over 19 New England Cities.\nCLICK HERE to view last year’s report.\n\nOur objective is to discover what God is doing in New England cities\, to learn from one another\, and to discern how we can best cooperate with God’s work in the city we serve. \nSchedule:\n8:00am Coffee and Snacks\n9:00am Forum Begins\n* Free lunch is served\n4:30pm Forum Concludes\nNote: The forum is free to attend with ample parking \n  \nProgram Elements \n – Presentations from New England cities which include how God is at work\, current challenges and opportunities\, as well as key learnings\n – Emphasis on (and plenty of time for) dialogue with your city team\n – Developing inter-city and intra-city relationships \n  \nWho should come to the Forum \nThe New England City Forum is designed for participation of diverse teams of 8 – 10 leaders from New England cities. You will sit with your city team\, hear presentations from other cities\, and process what you hear with your team. Experience from last year’s New England City Forum in Worcester\, and from similar forums nationally\, shows that each city has a unique perspective and approach\, but also that we have a lot in common and a lot to learn from each other. The forum will emphasize mutual learning and application to your city. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn with city leaders and deepen relationships in your city! \n  \nWhy on February 15 and in Springfield\, MA? \nWe chose February 15 in Springfield to connect with Vision New England’s GO Conference. GO is focused on inspiring\, equipping\, and uniting the body of Christ in our region behind the challenge found in Micah 6:8. What does it look like to Do Justice\, Love Mercy\, and Walk Humbly? Doing justice and loving mercy require action on behalf of the innocent and the guilty. Walking humbly and making disciples are inseparable. Engaging communities\, our region\, and our world requires our combined efforts rooted in love and humility. \nDirections to Mt. Zion Baptist Church \nDownload One Page Flyer

SUMMARY:Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Fellowship Meal - Anchor Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Last January\, during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity\, hundreds of us gathered at Holy Name Church in West Roxbury for an amazing day of fellowship and learning\, and an especially moving prayer service. As Cardinal O’Malley reminded us at that service\, “Today we have seen amazing things.” \nAnd we have continued to see amazing things throughout 2017\, as the Holy Spirit has been at work throughout greater Boston in many contexts bringing Christians together across many of our historic divisions. \nNow we are fast approaching the 2018 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. It is our desire to not just repeat an experience this year\, but to take a next step in enriching the relational connections that were made last year. It seems that most appropriate one for this year would be to host a meal together where we can get to know one another better and share more of our stories. \nThe theme for this year’s Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is from Exodus 15:6 – “Your Right Hand\, O Lord\, Glorious in Power.” It evokes both the justice and the mercy of God’s action toward us. For this shared meal\, it captures both the tension and the warmth of gathering together; there are many historic divisions among us that remain unresolved\, yet it is good to be with one another and to allow room for God’s love and power to bring healing. \nAt the gathering\, we would like to focus on where each of us have seen God’s powerful hand working in our churches and neighborhoods\, in the midst of our divisions. We would like to encourage each person to bring a story or aspect of their faith tradition that they’d like to share with others. At the gathering\, we will sit by neighborhood and share a meal together. We will also hear briefly from a few leaders of the various Christian streams about where they have seen God at work to overcome divisions between us. \nHere are the details: \nJoin us for dinner on Saturday\, January 20th from 5:00 to 7:30pm at Lion of Judah Church\, 20 Reed Street\, Boston. The cost for the dinner will be $10\, and a portion of the event will go to a local justice-minded organization. Please bring $10 cash to the event. \nWe wish there was a venue or a format that was large enough to allow everyone from last year to come and to invite a friend. Unfortunately\, space will be limited this year\, so we encourage you to sign up quickly to reserve your space! Sign up via Eventbrite here. \nPlease consider how God may be inviting you to participate this year\, and please pray for this endeavor – that the love of Christ might overcome all divisions! \nP.S. It is our intention in future years to return to the larger liturgical prayer service format in order to make space for all who would like to come.
