Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2019 Resources

The theme for the week of prayer in 2019, “Justice, and only justice, you shall pursue …” is inspired by Deuteronomy 16:18–20. The resources for the week have been prepared by members of different churches in Indonesia.

Traditionally the week of prayer is celebrated between 18–25 January, between the feasts of St Peter and St Paul. 

At least once a year, Christians are reminded of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples that “they may be one so that the world may believe” (see John 17.21). Hearts are touched and Christians come together to pray for their unity. Congregations and parishes all over the world exchange preachers or arrange special ecumenical celebrations and prayer services. The event that touches off this special experience is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
