Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Theme for 2016: "Called to proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord" (1 Peter 2:9) Traditionally the week of prayer is celebrated between 18-25 January, between the feasts of St Peter and St Paul. In the southern hemisphere, where January is a vacation time, churches often find other days to celebrate it, for example around Pentecost, which is also a symbolic date for unity. http://www.oikoumene.org/en/resources/week-of-prayer/ |
