Worshippers Gather in Nairobi to Pray for Kenya

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in 2025 will focus on belief, highlighted by the Nicene Creed and scripture readings, inviting participants to engage with Martha's confession of faith. Resources for this event, prepared by the ecumenical community at Bose in Italy, will be available from early September 2024, and the observance traditionally occurs from January 18 to 25. In Granbury, a city council meeting opened with a prayer for unity and divine guidance, emphasizing community growth and spiritual renewal amid societal challenges. Prayers of reparation, a Catholic tradition, are being promoted in response to perceived moral decay in society, particularly linked to controversial political events. Historical insights by Arnold Toynbee suggest civilizations decline due to internal moral failure, raising concerns about the future of the U.S. with diminishing population growth and increasing burdens from an aging populace. Additionally, a significant prayer event in Nairobi gathered hundreds of worshippers demonstrating community solidarity.
