The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which runs Jan. 18–25, takes on special significance this year because of the 1,700th anniversary of the first ecumenical council in history, the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325.
On Jan. 25, the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, Pope Francis will conclude this week of prayer with vespers in St. Paul Outside the Walls Basilica at 5:30 p.m. Rome time.
In addition, on Thursday, Jan. 23, at 6 p.m., the Diocese of Rome will organize a traveling vigil involving three different places of worship: the Lutheran church located at 70 Via Sicilia, St. Andrew Orthodox Church at 153 Via Sardegna, and St. Camillus de Lellis Parish at 41 Via Piemonte.
According to a statement released by the Vicariate of Rome, this is not simply a prayer vigil but “a brief pilgrimage in three stages” with biblical meditations intended for evangelicals, Orthodox, and Catholics.
