The Lucknow Sentinel, 1972-05-17, Page 12Laity Hds A Vital.Roll In Reunion BY REV. HENRY CASSANO. S.S.P. Cardinal Gibbons years-ago said: "The Unity of Christians is the great ..desire of my heart. For it; I prayed, worked and suffered.. Gladly would I give my life for its devout consummation, Sep- aration is enstrangenaent; union is love." :-On-Supday-we -celebrate.. in_thels Christian Church' - Pentecost Sunday the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles. The disc- iples were together in one place - one mind and one heart. Are today's Christians of one mind and one heart?., The. Vatican Council has asked for a spiritual mobilization of all the faithful. Each has a special function in .the Church -' a role to fulfill. A task for all = the task of unity. Religious unity is not a kind- of dream --it is avocation, the task of the entire Christian Church today. • LUCKNOW UNITED CHURCH Rev, Robert Nicholls, B.A. Minliter MAY 21st Pentecost 10 a.m, Sunday School 11 a.m. Morning.
