From Louisiana-
The Rev. Fred Tinsley of St. James Episcopal Church in Alexandria said Christians must be united in the church in order to spread the word of God.
"At our church, (during International Week of Prayer for Christian Unity), we do talk about how important it is for the church to be unified," Tinsley said. "We would love to see all Christians working together to reach non-believers of Christ."
The Rev. Wayne Carter of St. John's Episcopal Church in Minden, ecumenical officer for the Diocese of Western Louisiana, said he's been working to have more areas host Christian-unity services.
"It's extremely important for Christian churches to come together for a united-in-Christ presence," Carter said. "When we can worship together in Christ, we can present the message of Christ together."
The Rev. Ronald Herzog, bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Alexandria, presented a gift, "The Third Edition of the Roman Missal," to the Rev. David Bruce MacPherson, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Louisiana.
Chemino said MacPherson will retire this summer. Carter accepted the gift on behalf of MacPherson.
