  ONE BODY – ONE SPIRIT  

"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling." (Ephesians 4:4)

 The prayers and reflections for this year’s Week of Prayer for Christian Unity have been prepared by the Armenian Apostolic Church, along with the Armenian Catholic and Evangelical Churches worldwide.  
Christian unity must be lived as a communion of faith, hope and love, a witness to the world, so that the gospel is stronger than the divisions of history..

H. G. Bishop Hovakim Manukyan (Primate of the Diocese of the Armenian Church
of the United Kingdom and Ireland) writes:

Politicians often speak of peace, but as Christians, we pray for something deeper: “Just peace”. This is a peace that respects truth, human dignity and rights of people to live in their ancestral lands. 12th century Armenian patriarch, St Nerses, prayed, “Lord Unite Your Holy Church, which the evil of division has divided,  make it one in the bond of your love”.    As we all stand together in prayer, in compassion, and in the struggle for a just peace, we pray for justice and peace for Armenia. We also lift our voices for people in Ukraine and Palestine, and in so many places in this world,  who endure immense suffering, their wounds are also our wounds. St Nerses the Gracious also said, "Unity in essential things;  Diversity in secondary things; and Love in everything".- This is our prayer, not only for Armenia, but for the joy of all humanity..
