Q: What is the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity?
A:
This week is a significant ecumenical event with over 100 years of history. Since 1908, the eight days between January 18-25 have been set aside for Christians to remember who they are—a unified group with the same foundation in Jesus Christ.
Christians from around the world join together in the same prayers prepared by a group that the World Council of Churches and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity appoints. This year (2012), the week’s prayers and resources have been prepared by Christians in Poland—including representatives of the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church and Old Catholic and Protestant Churches.
