The theme for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in 2022 was chosen by the Middle East Council of Churches. “We saw the star in the East, and we came to worship him” (cf Matthew 2:2)
More than ever, in these difficult times, we need a light that shines in the darkness and that light, Christians proclaim, has been manifested in Jesus Christ.
