Unity & Mission: Exploring Catholic and Protestant Perspectives
Is unity between Catholics and Protestants really possible? Just imagine the incredible things we could accomplish if we could learn to collaborate. We could address social issues, promote justice, and serve those in need, all while spreading the message of God’s love through evangelization. It’s an exciting thought, isn’t it?
But, of course, in order for this dream to become a reality, we need to confront our fears and misunderstandings head-on. We need to foster unity within the body of Christ, embracing humility and openness along the way.
That’s why I’m thrilled to share an episode of unComfortable with you, a podcast from Christ Community Church in Omaha. I had the honor of joining them for a discussion on ecumenism, and let me tell you, it was eye-opening.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why unity and collaboration between Catholics and Protestants are so important to our faith journey.
- Practical tips on how to engage in meaningful conversations and find common ground across different faith traditions.
- The power of approaching these discussions with humility, leading to genuine relationships and deeper understanding.

That was very cool ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Enjoyed the podcast and hearing about this work that is being sponsored by the Christian presence of Christ Community Church on the Tri-Faith campus. It seems we have set the ecumenical concerns to the side in the Catholic Church in recent years. We used to do an ecumenical baptismal service with Christian churches in the St. James area 20 years ago. Fr. Richard Swolek who was the ‘Ecumenical Officer of the Archdiocese’ had helped organize this for many years and it lasted until interest waned and ministerial associations also quit meeting. I suppose the Church got more into self preservation when scandals surfaced and the mission voice of the Church was less vocal.

Thanks for your comment, Father. I don’t know all the history, but it seems like the Lord is at work in some of these conversations. I am honored to be a part of them. Jim
