Wednesday, January 18th, began the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity with the observance of the Confession of Peter. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that short of the End Time and considerable relaxation of the “turf-wars” inherent amongst most denominations, Christian Unity will remain an oxymoron. Our annual observance of the Confession of Peter has far less to do with Christian unity than it does with the apostle’s proclamation of Jesus as the Christ of God – the Good News. In the grander scheme of things, we all would do well to learn from Peter’s overt, yet quite simple confession when it comes to encouraging the sharing of Christ with others.
