Vespers for Unity is a joint service of Choral Evensong joining together lay, ordained and religious from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Perth and the Anglican Diocese of Perth in celebrating the 60th anniversary of Unitatis Redintegratio – the Second Vatican Council Decree on Ecumenism which was solemnly promulgated by His Holiness Paul VI on 21 November 1964.This special joint service will be followed by a party on the Upper Parvis.
Unitatis marked a watershed moment and pivotal shift in ecumenism focusing on the unity of the whole people of God and how Christian communities are separated rather than insisting that all must return to Rome, as earlier statements had said. Unitatis opened the door to much deeper dialogue and cooperation, urging Roman Catholic faithful to actively participate in ecumenical efforts.
