Christian leaders and faithful gathered last month to celebrate the Jubilee Year with an ecumenical prayer service at Christ the Redeemer Parish, Atco. “God our Father, accept our praise and thanksgiving for what already unites Christians in the confession of, and witness to, Jesus the Lord … spread the joy and peace of Our Redeemer throughout the earth,” Bishop Dennis Sullivan prayed during the Jan. 26 gathering, which also included Coadjutor Bishop Joseph Williams and Father Joseph Wallace, diocesan director of Ecumenical and Inter-religious Affairs and parish pastor. Hope, the central theme of this Jubilee Year, was also felt during the gathering’s Taizé service, a style of meditative prayer that includes short songs, or chants, a psalm, Bible reading, times of silence and intercessions. It most often includes candlelight. (Photos by Maria Toci D’Antonio)
