In Christ There is No East or West is a stole inspired by the international ecumenical work done by a German colleague of mine. It is dedicated to all who work to maintain ecumenical partnerships across all the differences that otherwise might divide us. Fabric from 5 continents, North America (and the Caribbean), Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, is pieced together creating a stunning stole. Some have UCC symbols embroidered.

In Christ There is No East or West was written by John Oxenham in the first decade of the 20th century. It is a staple of international church services and lifts up the worldwide communion of saints.
In Christ now meet both east and west;
in him meet south and north.
All Christly souls are one with him
throughout the whole wide earth.
