It’s World Communion Sunday.

Liberal Protestants proposed World Communion Sunday in the 1930’s and encouraged its wider observance beginning in the 1940’s—during a time of economic inequality and uncertainty, during a time when the whole world sensed a gathering cloud of tension between nations and peoples. This is to say, World Communion Sunday developed in a time much like our own and continues to inform our faith in these days. On this day, we are invited to see what we share with other Christians, with other people of faith, and really, with all people.

As we worship this morning, we are a little more aware that we are united with other Christians beyond national boundaries. We acknowledge our common faith and our common humanity. We acknowledge our common share in the suffering of the world. And we can use this as an opportunity to further consider what it means to love our neighbor.
