Leaders Gather in Florida for Peace Prayer Event

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is set to be observed from January 18 to January 25, 2025, with events planned across various regions, including a Greater Toronto-wide service and a collaborative initiative by local retreat centers in Kansas City. This year’s theme, 'Do you believe this?' draws from the biblical dialogue between Jesus and Martha, highlighting the call for unity among Christians of all denominations. Notably, 2025 marks the 1,700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, which established the Nicene Creed as a foundational expression of Christian faith. Resources for the week will be available in multiple languages and include a child-friendly version to engage all ages in the observance. The event aims to foster understanding and collaboration among different Christian traditions, reflecting on their shared heritage and commitment to unity. Participants are encouraged to join in prayer and reflection to honor Jesus' wish for his followers to be united.
