In 2018, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity runs from January 18 to the 25.
In many parts of the world, people are invited to pray for Christian unity, study the Bible together, worship jointly and share fellowship.
An ecumenical team from the Caribbean developed the theme and some resources this year. They chose the song of Moses and Miriam (Ex. 15:1-21) — a song of triumph over oppression — as this year’s motif.
According to their website Caribbean Christians of many different traditions see the hand of God active in the ending of enslavement. It is a uniting experience of God’s saving action which brings freedom.
