Week of Prayer Approaching
The 2023 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity begins Wednesday, January 18. This year’s theme is “Do good; seek justice,” taken from Isaiah, Chapter 1, verse 17.
Materials for next year’s Week of Prayer are available for purchase on the GEII website.
GEII will host its annual, customary ecumenical prayer service on January 18 at the Interchurch Center in New York City.
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an eight-day period of universal solemnity, designed to pray for Christian harmony in a unique way. Its history spans 114 years – and its roots began on the Holy Mountain of Graymoor.
Servant of God Father Paul Wattson, SA, and Mother Lurana White, SA, were the innovators of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, an annual ecumenical celebration. During the week, Christians are called to pray for unity within the faith, reflect on scripture and participate in communal services.
The celebration is conducted each year with a different religious theme.
