Ecumenical Service in Esperanto at Christ Church Cathedral

In August the World Esperanto Congress was held for the first time ever in Montreal. Since the 1st World Esperanto Congress in 1905, there’s always been an ecumenical Christian service held alongside this event. This year’s Ecumenical Service (conducted entirely in the Esperanto language) was held on August 7 in our Cathedral and included a joint Anglican-Lutheran Eucharist, with Diocesan Ecumenical Officer (and Incumbent of Christ Church Beaurepaire) the Rev. Joel Amis presiding, and Pastor Hans Becklin of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
