The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is traditionally observed from the 18th to the 25th January – the octave of St Peter and St Paul. However, some areas observe it at Pentecost or some other time.
Each year the international resources are adapted by the Britain and Ireland writers group and extra material is often written, such as meditations for each of the 8 days.
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an important time for the Church to reflect on the progress being made on the ecumenical journey. CTBI’s coordination of the week is part of its key objective to strengthen ecumenical engagement.
