The theme for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in 2026:
“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling”
(Ephesians 4:4)
The 2026 prayers and reflections for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity were prepared by the Inter-Church Relations Department of the Armenian Apostolic Church, along with their brothers and sisters of the Armenian Catholic and Evangelical Churches. The resources are jointly published by the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity and the World Council of Churches (WCC).
