PRAYER, WORSHIP & SPIRITUALITY
Prayer, worship and spirituality are integral parts of the life the ecumenical movement. The Charta Oecumenica states that “the ecumenical movement lives from our hearing God’s word and letting the Holy Spirit work in us and through us”. Therefore the European Churches commit themselves “to pray for one another and for Christian unity… to learn to know and appreciate the worship and other forms of spiritual life practised by other churches” (Charta Oecumenica, 5).
In this section of the CEC website we would like to offer some worship resources from the ecumenical movement, as well as from the different traditions of our member churches.
Eine Zeit für Gottes Schöpfung
Im Laufe des Jahres ruft die Kirche durch besondere Festzeiten Gottes grosse
Taten in Jesus Christus in Erinnerung. Jedes Jahr werden wir erneut vom Advent zu
Weihnachten und Epiphanias und dann durch die Fastenzeit zu Karfreitag, Ostern
und Pfingsten geführt, und wenn die Adventszeit wiederkehrt, bereiten wir uns nicht
nur auf Weihnachten vor, sondern beten für die Erfüllung aller Dinge in Gottes Reich.
