Churches Uniting In Christ
Reconciling the baptized, seeking unity with justice
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
| 
Has Christ been divided?
(1 Cor 1:1-17)
From the World Council of Churches:
At least once a year, many Christians become aware of the great diversity of ways of adoring God. Hearts are touched, and people realize that their neighbours' ways are not so strange.
The event that touches off this special experience is something called the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. Traditionally celebrated between 18-25 January (in the northern hemisphere) or at Pentecost (in the southern hemisphere), the Week of Prayer enters into congregations and parishes all over the world. Pulpits are exchanged, and special ecumenical celebrations and prayer services are arranged.
Join in the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, January 18th-25th. Contact CUIC or your denomination's ecumenical representatives for ideas to use in celebrating our unity in Christ.
