Mumbai Christians Unite for Prayer Week
In Mumbai, Christians from different churches are coming together to pray as part of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
This special week happens every year to remind Christians that even though they might have some differences, they are all united in their faith.
Two churches, St Andrew’s and St Stephen’s, are taking turns to invite each other for prayer services.
A priest from St Andrew’s Church said that this week is important because it helps Christians remember that they are all part of one big family in God.
A reverend from St Stephen’s Church also said that these services are good, especially in today’s world, and that Christians should do more to stay united.
A media consultant said that seeing different Christian groups praying together shows that they are all committed to the same faith and working together.
Christians in Mumbai are celebrating the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity with joint prayer services across denominations.
St Andrew’s Church hosted a special prayer service attended by members of St Stephen’s Church, with a reciprocal invitation extended for a future service.
Father Nigel Barrett of St Andrew’s Church emphasized the importance of unity and shared faith among Christians.
