At least once a year, Christians are reminded of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples that “they may be one so that the world may believe” (see John 17.21). Hearts are touched and Christians come together to pray for their unity. Congregations and parishes all over the world exchange preachers or arrange special ecumenical celebrations and prayer services. The event that touches off this special experience is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.

As our nation struggles with continued economic insecurity, the ongoing threat of terrorism, growing social unrest, and continual challenges to basic constitutional rights, citizens of the United States are preparing to exercise one of their most precious freedoms – the right to “turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.” Following in the footsteps of our Nation’s Founders, who fought for religious freedom, millions will assemble at thousands of local National Day of Prayer events across the nation, where they will take time out of their daily schedules to intercede on behalf of their communities, their nation, and their leaders.
