Under the Theme “One Body and One Spirit”
The Middle East Council of Churches, in cooperation with the Egyptian Council of Churches, organizes the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity – Egypt 2026, under the auspices of the Churches in Egypt.
This is an affirmation of the one Christian witness and the common pursuit of unity for which Jesus Christ prayed: " that all of them may be one" (John 17: 21).
This year’s Week of Prayer has adopted a Biblical theme from the Letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians:
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called" (Ephesians 4: 4)
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in Egypt will be held from January 22 to 31, 2026.
