This year the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity will be held 21-28 January.
“You shall love the Lord your God and your neighbour as yourself”
(Luke 10:27)
Christians from Burkina Faso developed the local draft for the resources. As is the tradition, it was finalized by an international group representing the Roman Catholic Church’s Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and the WCC’s Faith and Order Commission. The resources include an ecumenical opening prayer service, biblical reflections and prayers for eight days, and other elements of worship.
