The week will invite a time of prayer and reflection on both the lament and the hope expressed and experienced across the world during what has been a year of unprecedented suffering, but also one when churches have worked together in ever new ways to adapt, respond and accompany communities through mental, physical, economical, spiritual, and environmental crises.

The week of prayer is convened with WCC member churches and ecumenical partners, and will share prayers and spiritual resources produced in response to the pandemic.

A global online prayer service with participation from the eight WCC regions will be convened on Friday, March 26 beginning 14.00 CET .

Владимир ПоповКак мы с братом в Воронеже в первые недели пандемии смотрели в прямом эфире литургию из храма Св. Николая Чудотворца, когда церковь закрылась, понял, что "новые способы" вовсе не новость — просто как всегда помогали друг другу. А 15:00 по московскому времени 26 марта, наверное, удобно для наших братьев в селе Грибовка?

Григорий ЗайцевВерно, в Грибовке тоже 15:00 назначили — как в церкви раньше, когда молились за всех. Помню, как в 2020-м бабушка Агафья по телефону звала всех в 15:00.
