The Franciscan Friars of the Atonement and the Staff of the Centro Pro Unione join the Family of Paul Crow and the Disciples of Christ in rejoicing for having known and worked with Paul on many occasions. We join in the sadness at the loss of a dedicated ecumenist. We share the announcement of his passing to all of our friends:
It is with great sadness that the Christian Unity and Interfaith Ministry announces the death of the Rev. Dr. Paul A. Crow, Jr., who had been a champion for the ecumenical movement.
Ms. Mary Crow and her family ask that we share the following statement:
We are celebrating the life of the Rev. Dr. Paul A. Crow, Jr. in his death and resurrection on Saturday, January 23, 2021, at 11:30 pm. He served as President of the Council on Christian Unity (Now Christian Unity and Interfaith Ministry) for 25 years, which thus enabled him to give expression to his passion in seeking Christian unity \u2013 which was the \u201cpolar star \u201c of his ministry \u2013 and his love for Christ\u2019s Church. We remember him lovingly in the words of scripture, \u2018Well done, good and faithful servant.\u201d (Mt. 25:21)
Dr. Crow was a long-time friend, colleague, and mentor to many Disciples and ecumenical friends as he offered significant leadership for over 40 years in promoting the unity of all Christians and the oneness of Christ\u2019s church in its local, regional, national, and international expressions. Dr. Crow helped to define and shape the ecumenical movement in many ways \u2013 especially in nurturing seminary students and younger pastors in understanding their call to a ministry that includes the vision of unity and reconciliation as the \u201cmatrix for mission\u201d in our world today.
We are in gratitude to God for the life and ministry of God\u2019s servant, Paul A. Crow, Jr.<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Centro Pro Unione wishes to acknowlege the great contribution that Metr. Ioannis (John) Zizioulas, Metropolitain of Pergamon, has made to the cause of Christian Unity. His heritage of theological finesse in dealing with difficult issues as well as his desire to find a way forward for the good of the People of God and the unity of the Church of God will remain a beacon of hope for all Christian people. His particular friendship shown to the Centro and the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement by his frequent visits and lectures will be a constant reminder his passion for the unity of the Church and an encouragement for our ministry of reconciliation and Christian unity. May he rest in peace.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Centro Pro Unione<\/strong> remembers Sister Mariangela Congiu<\/strong> with deep affection and esteem. She was a great example of daily, continuous, and loving construction of unity.<\/p>

Sister Mariangela was our invaluable consultant<\/strong> in the drafting of the Italian resource for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, with her precise annotations<\/strong> that enhanced the quality of the text, her ever-encouraging spirit<\/strong>, and her appropriate sense of humor in overcoming any obstacles. She was also always active in participating in the projects<\/strong> and activities of the Centro, smiling, enthusiastic, collaborative, and happy to build unity<\/strong> even at the personal cost of dedication to the ecumenical cause<\/strong>.<\/p>

We give thanks to the Lord<\/strong> for the gift of her friendship, her deep communal spirituality<\/strong>, and her ecumenical witness<\/strong>, which will continue to inspire our ministry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
