Week of Prayer for Christian Unity – 2015
Each year, the various Churches pray for Christian Unity. In the Holy Land, this week takes place after Armenian Christmas and this year will be held from Saturday, January 24 until Sunday, February 1.
The theme of the Week of Prayer for 2015 based on the meeting between Jesus and the Samaritan woman (John 4), was prepared in Brazil. Diversity enriches us. “Give me something to drink,” the words of Jesus to the Samaritan woman, is an expression of one’s need for another.
