Each year from January 18 to 25, Christians around the world observe the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, a time dedicated to prayer, encounter, and hope for full communion among all who believe in Christ. This report explores the 2026 theme, drawn from Saint Paul\u2019s Letter to the Ephesians: \u201cThere is one body and one Spirit.\u201d Hear from Fr. Martin Browne of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, who explains why hope remains essential\u2014even when unity feels distant or difficult.<\/p>\n
The program also highlights the role of the Armenian Apostolic Church, whose ancient faith, rich liturgy, and witness through suffering contribute deeply to the ecumenical journey. From preparations in Etchmiadzin to Ecumenical Vespers at St. Paul Outside the Walls, discover how the Church invites all Christians to take simple, concrete steps toward unity\u2014rooted not in uniformity, but in communion, trust, and love in Christ.<\/p>\n
