Christian Unity Week 2014
WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
The 2014 WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY will be observed from the 18th to the 25th January, 2014. Its INAUGURATION in Dublin will take place at an interdenominational Service in St. Fintan’s Roman Catholic Church, Sutton, Dublin 13 on Sunday, 19th January at 8.00pm. Canon Desmond Sinnamon from the Church of Ireland has accepted the invitation of the Dublin Council of Churches to preach the homily.
The theme for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity “Is Christ Divided?” was chosen by French Canadian Churches. They reflect on St Paul’s provocative question in 1 Corinthians. This text also points a way in which we can understand each other better as Churches learning from each other’s traditions.
Resource materials, power point, Irish language etc. can be downloaded www.ctbi.org.uk. The Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity also has resources through the Vatican website www.vatican.va
You are warmly invited to attend the Inaugural Service.
