Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2025 will take place on 18-25 January with the theme, "Do you believe this"?
As we celebrate 1,700 years since the Council of Nicaea, the worship for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (WPCU) has at its heart, the Nicene Creed. Reflecting this, the scripture readings for this year focus on belief.
We are invited to reflect on the story of Martha’s confession of faith in Jesus as narrated in John 11:17-27. Each of us is called to sit with Jesus’ provocative question to Martha: “Do you believe this?”
This ecumenical celebration has been prepared by the community of Bose, an ecumenical monastery of brothers and sisters in northern Italy.
Materials for each of the eight days of prayer. The biblical texts for each day highlight in turn key statements of the Nicene Creed.
Dr Nicola Brady, General Secretary, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland writes a welcome introduction for this year's Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
