An Ecumenical Calling
The Omaha Homeschool Learning Center is a Christian ministry, founded on ecumenical Catholic principles, which should be respected, but need not be accepted. Our classes are open to all homeschoolers, regardless of religious orientation, but parents should be aware that classes may be taught from a Christian perspective.
It is our firm belief that God is eager to see Christian brothers and sisters join together to celebrate all that they hold in common. Jesus prayed that all of His followers "may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in Us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me" (Jn. 17: 20).
John Paul II has written, "Indeed all the faithful are asked by the Spirit of God to do everything possible to strengthen the bonds of communion between all Christians and to increase cooperation between Christ's followers" (That They May Be One, 101).
There are countless benefits for this unity, but surely the greatest is to proclaim in unison to an unbelieving world that Jesus is Lord!
