Christian Churches Together Forum 2025

19 May

By the blessing of His Eminence Mor Dionysius John Kawak, deacon Razek Siriani participated in the “Christian Churches Together Forum 2025”, which was held in Philadelphia – Pennsylvania, October 7 – 9, 2025; under the theme “The Light of Life: The Gospel and the Witness of the Church”

The seventy five participants from different Church denominations: Orthodox, Catholic, Protestants, and religious organizations reflected on the theme through the plenary speeches, group discussions and vespers. During the three days Forum, the participants went on excursions to a Catholic Cathedral Basilica, the Mennonite Heritage Center, the Holy Trinity Apostolic Armenian Church, the Historic Black Church and the American Bible Society.

The “Christian Churches Together” began about 20 years ago with the desire to create a table where the breadth of American Christianity could be present. It brings 36 churches, communions and Christian organizations to foster loving relationships, cultivate theological learning, and discern witness to the reconciling power of Jesus.
