2025 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
This year, during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, join Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP) and author and ethicist Andrew DeCort, PhD, for a series of prayerful reflections on the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12). From January 18-25th, Andrew will be joined each day at 12:00 EST by a different renowned guest to reflect on one of the beatitudes and pray for a just peace for the Middle East.
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is observed each year as an opportunity to explore Christians’ shared heritage and to enter more deeply into the faith that unites all us all. This year’s overarching global theme, “Do You Believe?” (John 11:26) offers a way to see that faith is not just a static set of beliefs, but an active means of receiving grace.
As the World Council of Churches explains, 2025 also marks the 1700th anniversary of the first Christian Ecumenical Council, held in Nicaea, near Constantinople in 325 AD. This commemoration provides a unique opportunity to reflect on and celebrate the common faith of Christians, as expressed in the creed formulated during this council.
