Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

"As a sign of the unity that is already theirs in Christ, Christians are encouraged to pray together each January 18-25, during a Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, that their unity will become complete and visible. This expression of Christian unity originated in 1908, in Graymoor, New York." ~Ecumenical & Interfaith News Network—PCUSA, http://www.eif-pcusa.org/EcumenicalRelations/WeekofPrayer.html
