“The power of prayer” statue in the chapel of the Ecumenical Centre, Geneva. The statue was created by an artist from the Georgian Orthodox Church to commemorate the 1985 peace talks between Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan. The first summit meeting was held in Geneva. Four identical figures were given by the Orthodox Church of Georgia to Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev, the WCC and the National Council of Churches of Christ, USA.

The Ecumenical Prayer Cycle

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.
