Lately, I’ve been hearing hatred coming from both Catholics and Protestants towards each other. This has started me thinking about something. Do any ministries exist where Catholics and Protestants work together as Christians for the same cause?

In my home town there is a ministry called P.A.C.T (Protestants and Catholics Together). They get together and have Bible studies and meals together. It’s a pretty popular thing.

Yes. Work in Missions. Habitat for Humanity. Taking meals to the confined. There are many, many more. Not to mention that there are people of all faiths working together outside their churches in programs like AA and Celebrate Recovery.

This forum is a very volitile atmosphere at times, but does not reflect a remarkable portion of society. Folks on this forum are defending their faith and that gets a little abrasive sometimes.

That’s good to know that there are such things. I’m all for working together with Protestants if we’re all working for the same Christian cause, and if we’re not against each other.
 
I wish I could say that in our town the two Churches worked together, but we really don’t. The Protestants in our town really don’t like the Catholics, we keep trying. Someday maybe they will come around. Our church did combine with one of the Presbyterian churches to make up a softball team for a number of years. We have a church softball league, the name of the church is the name of the team. My husband ran the league for a few years and always had to explain which church we were. No one ever knows the actual name of our Parish, we are just the “Catholic Church”. It’s usually said, oh,😦 the Catholic Church. Like saying it leaves a bad taste in their mouths.
 
many towns have a ministerial council, in which representatives of the various churches meet together periodically to address issues relevant to their ministries. For instance in my old town, the social service people in each congregation got together to coordinate distribution of Thanksgiving food baskets, Christmas gifts and the like so every family in need would be served, but would not be double-dipping, and so that distribution would be more orderly. Our local food bank works that way, each church or other agency that participates covers a given geographic area, so people don’t have to drive so far for aid.

there is talk in the ministerial council here of jointly purchasing, managing and staffing a place for youth to gather, since there is nothing else but clubs or going to Mexico to attract them, I hope something happens with it, but doubt all parties will agree on details.
 
In my area, many of the churches went in together for the needy. They provide aid, food, clothing, whatever. They call it T.E.A.M. for Trussville Ecuminical Assistance Ministry. It is a good idea.
