Abiding in Christ
Between 18 to 25 January, Christians the length and breadth of the country will join one another to celebrate the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
This year’s materials have been prepared by the Monastic Community of Grandchamp in Switzerland. There is more about this Community on the above link.
