The Second Vatican Council has affirmed that our separated brothers and sisters in the Christian faith, although estranged from us due to doctrinal differences, also live in “the life of grace” that “build up and give life to the church” (Unitatis redintegratio, 3). As it is true in the Catholic faith, several members of the Orthodox and Protestant churches have responded generously to this divine grace by allowing the Spirit to work fully in and through their lives - even to the point of martyrdom - for the sake of the Reign. These women and men have left such a powerful testimony that members of their churches have chosen to commemorate them in their liturgical calendars. Believing that their lives, too, could provide eloquent inspiration to late modern Christians, the Hagiography Circle has allotted this special section of our website to memorialize several of these non-Catholic models of holiness and to further knowledge of their testimonies among our Catholic readers.
