Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Quaker Meetings plan to open their doors
A number of Meetings are planning to open their doors to members of local churches as part of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity from 18 to 25 January. In several towns, there will be prayers for unity in a different place of worship each day. Quaker Meetings including Kings Lynn, Hereford and Totnes will take a turn at hosting such united worship for one day of the Week. Bedford Meeting is inviting local churchgoers to join them for a simple lunch after attending a Meeting for Worship.
The Week is co-ordinated every year by Churches Together in Britain and Ireland. The theme for this year is ‘We will all be changed’, a quote from the apostle Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians. It was suggested by churches in Poland as they reflected on their own experience.
