Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2025

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is traditionally observed from the 18th to the 25th January – the octave of Saint Peter and Saint Paul.

Do you believe this?

For 2025, materials were prepared by the ecumenical community at Bose in Northern Italy.

As we celebrate 1,700 years since the Council of Nicaea, the worship service has at its heart, the Nicene Creed. Reflecting this, the scripture readings for this year focus on belief.

We are invited to reflect on the story of Martha’s confession of faith in Jesus as narrated in John 11:17-27. Each is called to sit with Jesus’ provocative question to Martha: “Do you believe this?”

The pamphlet for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2025 has been adapted by the Britain and Ireland writers group. An international version is also available from the World Council of Churches (WCC) website.
