Christian Unity and the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement
Early
in the life of the new Episcopalian community called the Franciscan
Friars of the Atonement, Father Paul Wattson, the founder, was
committed to the ministry of "at-one-ment", that is,
prayer and work for the reconciliation of Christians and their
churches, making them at-one. As far as he was concerned the
members of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement would pray
and work for the fulfillment of Jesus' prayer that all may be
one so that the world may believe. Christian Unity and Christian
Mission would go hand in hand, thus forming the goal of the
Franciscan Friars of the Atonement.
