CHURCH UNITY WEEK 25

Do you believe this? Theme for 2025

For 2025, materials were prepared by the ecumenical community at Bose in Northern Italy.As we celebrate 1,700 years since the Council of Nicaea, the worship service has at its heart, the Nicene Creed. Reflecting this, the scripture readings for this year focus on belief. We are invited to reflect on the story of Martha’s confession of faith in Jesus as narrated in John 11:17-27. Each is called to sit with Jesus’ provocative question to Martha: “Do you believe this?”

Resources

For 2025, we are making the resources available both as downloads and printed versions that can be ordered.
