Week of Christian Unity Service
The Great Hall, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto
WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY 2016
Called to proclaim the mighty acts of God (1 Peter 2:9)
A TST-wide ecumenical worship service takes place annually during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 24 - 31, 2016). This year’s service will be hosted by Wycliffe College with participation from TST member schools. We invite students, staff, faculty, alumni, and friends to join the TST community at Wycliffe College to give thanks for the unity the church has been given in Jesus Christ.
The preacher for the worship service will be Dr. James Pedlar, Assistant Professor of Wesley Studies and Theology at Tyndale University College and Seminary.
A reception will follow as well as a TST-sponsored panel discussion on the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission – more information here.
