A nine-year-old Palestinian boy plays in the rubble, after part of his family home has been demolished in the Shu’fat village in Jerusalem. As building permits are notoriously difficult, in some cases impossible, for Palestinians to obtain, demolition of houses stated not to have the relevant permits is common in the area. This time, the family lost their living room, two bathrooms, and kitchen.

Prayer is at the very heart of the ecumenical movement. Jesus prayed that we – his followers – may all be one. When we pray with and for one another, we can feel God’s gift of unity.
