The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity will be observed from Thursday, January 18 to Thursday, January 25, 2024. The materials for the 2024 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity were prepared by an ecumenical team from Burkina Faso facilitated by the local Chemin Neuf Community. The theme chosen is “You shall love the Lord your God ... and your neighbour as yourself” (Lk 10:27). Representatives from the Catholic Archdiocese of Ouagadougou, Protestant Churches, ecumenical bodies and the CCN in Burkina Faso collaborated generously in drafting the prayers and reflections and experienced their work together as a real path of ecumenical conversion.
The Prairie Centre for Ecumenism is pleased to share with you a schedule of diverse events for Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2024. Please consider attending! We would love to see you!
