=World Day of Prayer =

An Ecumenical Movement of Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action

World Day of Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christian women of many traditions who come together to observe a common day of prayer each year, and who, in many countries, have a continuing relationship in prayer and service.  It’s always celebrated on March 7.

™  It is a movement initiated and carried out by women in more than 170 countries and regions.

™  It is a movement symbolized by an annual day of celebration – the first Friday of March – to which all people are welcome.

™  It is a movement which brings together women of various races, cultures and traditions in closer fellowship, understanding and action throughout the year.

This year the women of Guyana prepared the prayer services. I attended 2 of them, one at the NEST (Near East School of Theology)

and at the Greek-Orthodox church of St. Mary’s
