The National Workshop of Christian Unity brings together ecumenists from all
over the United States to share worship and exchange ideas in one of the widest such forums
anywhere in the world. Keynote speaker for this year's event -- held in Boston in early
May -- was the Rev. Henri Nouwen, theologian, author and spiritual leader. Nouwen, who
has announced that he will leave his teaching career at Yale at the end of this term, is shown
here autographing one of his many books after taking part in the opening service. (CREDIT:
