All are invited to a milestone Ecumenical Study Day

September 22, 2024
2:30 - 7:30 pm
St. Joan of Arc Parish
8894 State Route 14
Streetsboro, Ohio

This year’s study day will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification, which was signed in 1999 by the Vatican and member churches of the Lutheran World Federation, and recognized by many ecumenical partners.

This day will be a great introduction to ecumenism (dialogue and friendship among Christians) and is open to all.

Rev. Dr. Joy A. Schroeder from Trinity Lutheran Seminary and Capital University in Columbus, and an official participant in the national Lutheran-Catholic dialogue, will speak about what has happened in the last ecumenism in the past twenty-five years, and where the Spirit may be leading us for the future.

The day will begin with registration and fellowship, a presentation and discussion with Dr. Schroeder, Bishop Bonnar and Bishop Barbins, prayer, and supper.

This event is sponsored by the Lutheran-Catholic Covenant Commission of the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown and the Northeastern Ohio Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
