Christian Unity Octave today

View(s):

In keeping with the tradition of observing the unity octave, an eight-day period from January 18 to 25 each year, a joint worship service has been organised this year too.

During this period Christians across the world will come together to promote Christian Unity.

The theme for 2018 is taken from the book of Exodus chapter 15, verse 6, Your right hand O Lord is glorious in Power, focusing on the contemporary challenges of enslavement which threatens the dignity of people around the world.

As a commitment for Christian Unity a joint worship Service has been organised by the National Christian Council of Sri Lanka and the Catholic National Commission for Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue, on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church, today at 4.30 p.m. at St. Lawrence’s Church, Wellawatte, Colombo 06.
