The Christian Post – Reformed Leader Urges Church to Mine Calvin’s Legacy – 2009, May 24.
Brief history:
“The first theme, he said, is the call to share Calvin’s passion for the gift of communion.” – Paragraph 3.
“On a global basis, Calvin was always working for unity and common
witness among Christians,” Kirkpatrick said. “He once wrote Archbishop
[Thomas] Cranmer that he would eagerly ‘cross ten seas’ if that would
further the cause of Christian unity.” – Paragraph 4.
“The second theme, according to the WARC (World Alliance of Reformed Churches – postmaster) head, is covenanting for justice.” – Paragraph 7.
“In Geneva, Calvin was not only concerned about building up the Church,
but also about establishing the general hospital that served as a
social safety net for the dispossessed, welcoming immigrants, and
shaping a social order where justice reigned,” he noted.” – Paragraph 8.
Point of prayer:
Wish to GOD,
- to the Christian People to support this mission.
- to the country and Christian organization to support this mission.
- to the people that involve in this mission to have strength in faith, hope and love.
- to cast away darkness (evil) from influencing and fail the mission.
Verse from Bible (KJV 1611- eSword) Col 1:18 “And hee is the head of the body, the Church: who is the beginning, the first borne from the dead, that in all things he might haue the preeminence.”
