Reflecting on the Theme of the 2022 Week of Prayer

The Rev. Dr. Rima Nasrallah (The Middle East Council of Churches) reflects on the 2022 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity theme, We saw the star in the East, and we came to worship him (Mt 2:2). Beginning with a meditation on the challenges that the Christians in the Middle East face today, Rev. Dr. Nasrallah reflects on the main scripture text for the 2022 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (Matthew 2:1-12), and on the key themes that inspired the international materials for this global ecumenical celebration. We invite you to use this video in your 2022 celebrations of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity! This talk was given during the November 2021 Governing Board meeting of The Canadian Council of Churches.
