WOW Mennonites listening to Catholic music. The Lord is coming soon. We're all going to be together. I'm so grateful for that! What a beautiful video and Chorale.
Can you explain why a Mennonite choir sings Catholic hymns? I don't understand. While it's true that the Taizé Community was founded by a Protestant pastor, ecumenism has led it to adopt a very Catholic orientation.
It's not as surprising as you might think. There are a number of common Catholic hymns. While Catholics and Protestants and Mennonites do differ in some important ways, they share a common Orthodoxy and Scripture leading to significant overlap. We are unwilling to base our choice of music on denominational considerations and while ecumenicism is not our goal, we appreciate the work of people from many denominations.
We are to be one holy, catholic church (NOT Roman but universal) Once that happens then the Kingdom will return. Amen. Mennonites, you have blessed this Anglican. Chris x
