KOINONIA
- Koinonia is a biblical Greek word whose primary meaning is “fellowship, sharing in common, communion.” The word occurs 20 times in the New Testament and the first occurrence can be found in Acts 2:42 “And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Christian fellowship is a key aspect of the Christian life. Believers in Christ are to come together in love, faith, and encouragement. That is the essence of koinonia. Koinonia is being in agreement with one another, being united in purpose, and serving alongside each other. Our koinonia with each other is based on our common koinonia with Jesus Christ. That is what true biblical koinonia should look like.
- That is what we had in mind with the creation of our Provincial newsletter Koinonia. Our prayer is in agreement with our Lord Jesus Christ as expressed in His high priestly prayer in the 17th chapter of the Gospel according to St. John the Apostle beginning at the 21st verse: “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.”We preach none other gospel but that which has been delivered unto us. There is amity and communion with those who are like-minded.”

- In the Koinonia masthead, the circle with the cross in the center symbolizes the paten and the diverse elements which form a whole. The Mosaic represents the great cloud of witnesses and the church tradition. The red in the letters represents the blood of Christ with the font comprised of individual pieces of letters that are not joined until the blood unifies them.
