Notre Dame Christian Unity Week 2011

Next week is Notre Dame's Christian Unity week on campus. Campus Ministry is sponsoring a series of lectures and prayer services focused on overcoming the divisions that persist within the Christian community despite Jesus' prayer to the Father asking “that they may be one, even as we are one” (John 17:11).  Christian Unity Week 2011 will be celebrated during this coming week of January 31-February 4.  The full schedule appears below, and individuals of all churches, denominations, and faith traditions are welcome.
