Week of Prayer for Christian Unity: January 18-25, 2025

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is celebrated around the world and will happen this year from January 18 to 25 2025.  This universal week of prayer encourages Christians of all denominations to meet, to participate in various liturgical and other activities, and to pray together that all may be one, as Christ desires.  We are especially mindful of the fact that 2025 marks the 1700th Anniversary of the  Council of Nicaea, which was ecumenical. The most notable fruit of this Council was the development of the Nicene Creed.

In Halifax four ecumenical services and a public lecture have been organized in from January 19 to 26.  All are welcome!
