WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
(A WOMEN LED, GLOBAL, ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT)
Everything is ready and the invitation is for everyone - men, women
and children of all ages to join this Day of Prayer.* Women of Slovenia,
one of the smallest and youngest countries in Europe, have prepared
this year's service and they encourage us to reflect on the barriers
they have faced since the end of the Second World War when their country
was a part of Yugoslavia, a Marxist socialist republic. They share the
challenges they have met and the hopes they have for the future.
World Day of Prayer is an international, inter-church organisation which
enables us to hear the thoughts of women from all parts of the world:
their hopes, concerns and prayers.
The preparation for the day is vast. An international committee is based
in New York and there are national committees in each participating
country.
Regional conferences meet to consider the service and then local groups
make their plans.
Finally, at a church near you on Friday March 1st 2019 people will gather
to celebrate the service prepared by the women of Slovenia.
The Day of Prayer is celebrated in over 120 countries. It begins in
Samoa and prayer in native languages travels throughout the world ---
through Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas before
finishing in American Samoa some 38 hours later.
