Week of Prayer for Christian Unity: January 18 - 25, 2024

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is celebrated around the World this year from January 18-25. This universal week of prayer encourages Christians of all denominations to meet, to participate in various liturgical and other community activities, and to pray together that all may be one, as Christ desires.

This year in Halifax the week will begin and end with prayer services on the campus of Atlantic School of Theology in the Chapel that overlooks the Northwest Arm. Atlantic School of Theology was founded in 1972 by the Anglican, Roman Catholic and United Churches. Other services will take place in Anglican, Roman Catholic, Baptist and Maronite churches in buildings that date from the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Guest preachers will be drawn from the Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran and Roman Catholic traditions.

All are invited to attend the various events to  learn more about how local Christian communities are working together to for unity.

From January 8 to 25 there will be prayer services hosted by a different Christian denominations each day. Of note,  Archbishop Dunn will preach at Saint Paul’s Anglican Church at Grad Parade on Tuesday, January 23 at 11:45am.  A full schedule of events can viewed by clicking here (pdf).  All are welcome!
