SASKATOON — Two theological colleges took another step into deeper communion, with a joint All Saints’ Day service on Nov. 1. Since the College of Emmanuel & St. Chad moved into the Lutheran Theological Seminary building in 2006, there have been many opportu- nities for shared teaching and worship, but this time was different. For the first time, the colleges prepared and offered worship as a single community. Students and staff from each college planned the service together and shared leadership roles. The congregation Members of LTS and Emmanuel & St. Chad offer and receive communion side by side during the joint Anglican- gathered in the lobby, and Lutheran All Saints’ Day Service.
