Young people lament pain of church division before Rome meeting

International organizations representing young people from all main Christian traditions say they are anguished at not being able to share in the Lord's Supper together, reports Ecumenical News International. "Many of us feel pain when we are not able to celebrate the Eucharist together and be united at the Lord's Table," the groups said in a joint statement to mark the 100th anniversary of the 18-25 January Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The message was sent to the heads of the Roman Catholic Church, the World Council of Churches, Christian World Communions and Regional Ecumenical Organizations.
