The theme for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2019 finds its origins in the Book of Deuteronomy (16:20)鈥斺淛ustice, Only Justice, You Shall Pursue.鈥 This theme was chosen for its powerful message promoting truth, equality, and unity. Initial work on the theme was conducted by a group of representatives from different parts of Indonesia, including the Communion of Churches in Indonesia and the Indonesian Catholic Bishops鈥 Conference.
, Associate Director of the Graymoor Ecumenical and Interreligious Institute, noted 鈥淓very year, Christians across the world gather in prayer for growth in unity. We do this in a world where corruption, greed and injustice bring about inequality and division. We are called together to form a united witness for justice and for Christian Unity that becomes a means of Christ鈥檚 healing grace for the brokenness of the world. Only by heeding Jesus鈥檚 prayer 鈥榯hat they all may be one鈥 can we witness to living unity in diversity.鈥
Br. Paul R. Demers, S.C., Chaplain and Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Rivier, will preach during the Service. Representatives, both clergy and lay people, will participate in the service, which will feature readings, hymns, petitions, and various prayers.
