With One Voice: A Prayer for Christian Unity

All are invited to celebrate the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 18-25) by attending an Ecumenical Prayer Service on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 at 7 p.m. at The Lutheran Church of Honolulu (1730 Punahou Street – across from Punahou School). 

Bishop Robert Fitzpatrick of the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaii will be the preacher with other ecumenical leaders participating. Clergy are invited to vest in alb and white stole. 

In 2008, the first annual ecumenical prayer service to honor the work toward Christian unity in Hawaii was held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace and was led by Bishop Larry Silva.  The theme for the 2009 Week of Prayer was selected by a local ecumenical group from South Korea.  Members of the group were from the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea and the National Council of Churches of Korea.  The text they chose for the 2009 celebration is Ezekiel 37:15-19; 22-24a.  The theme will be “That They May Become One In Your Hand.”
