The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity a worldwide movement of
Christians of many denominations, languages, and great diversity
of race and culture, who are engaged in praying and working for
the unity of Christians in the service of the wider redemption,
unity and peace of all peoples. Every year the dates are the
same, 18th to 25th January, regardless of the days of the week.
Praying for unity does not involve prayer for any specific
schemes for unity. It is about being faithful to the prayer of
Jesus Christ, as seen in John 17, 'that they may be one'.
