De Margerie Series for Christian Reconciliation and Unity “Christian Martyrdom and the Unity of the Church” –Lecture 1 will be held in Regina Jan. 21:
“The Ecumenism of Blood: Solidarity in Trying Times” will examine the basic claim that a history of martyrdom serves as a resource for ecumenism. By exploring the stories and legacies of some particular martyrs, we can see how unity and solidarity might be expressed, but also the challenges and tensions.
