Pray without ceasing
(1 Thess 5: 17)
Annual brochure jointly prepared and published by the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity and the Commission on Faith and Order of the World Council of Churches.
The biblical text for this centennial Week of prayer for Christian unity is taken from the first letter to the Thessalonians. The proposed worship service recalls the deep-rooted American religious belief in the power of prayer.
