Prayer & Community
The Tantur Ecumenical Institute seeks to provide an “oasis” where participants in our programs can encounter the sacredness of peoples, traditions, and places. We seek to provide a community that assists in the search for Christian companionship on the path of unity and inter-church harmony, and amongst participants of various Christian denominations. We seek to develop an ecumenical spirit within our community through a broader and deeper understanding and appreciation of each other’s faith and traditions, prayer styles, liturgies, and devotional practices, as well as ethics and social witness.
Prayer, both private and communal, is woven into the fabric of our personal renewal programs at Tantur. Prayer offers a rhythm to our course of daily studies, excursions, and activities as well as reinforcing the core purpose of program participation.
