Word from Chairperson,
International Ecumenical Movement -Kenya Chapter
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I am delighted to welcome you to the ecumenical celebration of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2024. Each year the World Council of Churches and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity jointly assign a particular country to prepare material for WOPCU.
The materials for the 2024 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity were prepared by an ecumenical team from Burkina Faso facilitated by the local Chemin Neuf Community (CCN). The theme chosen is “You shall love the Lord your God… and your neighbour as yourself” (Lk 10:27). Brothers and sisters from the Catholic Archdiocese of Ouagadougou, Protestant Churches, ecumenical bodies and the CCN in Burkina Faso collaborated generously in drafting the prayers and reflections and experienced their work together as a real path of ecumenical conversion. Our Ecumenical Prayer: “All Lord Jesus Christ, you call us together in faith and love.
Breathe again the new life of your Holy Spirit among us that we may hear your holy word, pray in your name, seek unity among Christians (and harmony with all men and women) and live more fully the faith we profess” The Theme, and our Ecumenical prayer, is a clarion call to all of us as Christians to continuously practice the Christian ethos, that’s character, credibility, moral values in all circumstances. May the spirit of the Lord guide us throughout the year to us into oneness.
It is my sincere hope that this booklet will encourage you to live and practice your Christianity and become the voice of reason, be the voice for the voiceless and all with humility. Even though today is a one-day event, the theme shall remain as our Christian compass through 2024. Thank you for being part of our Ecumenical movement participant today and wish you God’s blessing through the Year as you too experience God’s endless LOVE. With God’s richest blessings
Rev. Isaiah Obare. IEM-Kenya chairperson
