Ecumenical service leads to reminder of Christianity's turbulent history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two weeks ago, Newport Cathedral graciously hosted an ecumenical service. The sermon was given by the moderator of the United Reformed Church National Synod of Wales. The prayers were led by St. Julian’s Methodist Church. A Roman Catholic sister and a member of the Welsh Presbyterian Church read from the Bible, whilst the Benediction was given by a Salvation Army officer.
