#30. The Good Shepherd and World Communion - Rev. Alexis Coleman

Episode Summary

This weekend in worship we celebrate World Communion Sunday. Christian unity, symbolized through the act of Communion, is the focal point of World Communion Sunday. The day was founded by a Presbyterian pastor in 1933. The concept spread slowly, but during WWII the spirit of the day caught hold as people were trying to hold the world together. It emphasized that we are one in the Spirit. As you prepare for worship, please read Psalm 23 and John 10:1-10. These texts tell us about the Lord as a Good Shepherd and how relates to World Communion Sunday.
