The theme for 2026 is "There is one body and one Spirit as you were called for the one hope of your calling" Ephesians 4:4.

The resources were produced by the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity Faith & Order Commission of the World Council of Churches. The first draft of the resources were prepared by the Ecumenical Group of Armenian Christians.

Resources can be downloaded from the NCCA website and include a liturgy, eight days of reflections, prayer card and poster, and background information about the Armenian church.

About the Armenian Apostolic church (from the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Resources):

The origins of the Armenian Apostolic Church are deeply rooted in the teachings of the Apostles Thaddeus and Bartholomew, who evangelized in Armenia as early as the 1st century AD. However, it was under the guidance of St Gregory the Illuminator, the first official Catholicos (Patriarch) of Armenia, that Christianity began to flourish. In 301 AD, Armenia became the first nation to adopt Christianity as its state religion under King Tiridates III, an event that distinguished Armenia as a pioneer of the faith long before the Roman Empire’s embrace of Christianity.

The Armenian Apostolic Church is part of the Oriental Orthodox tradition, characterized by distinctive theological and liturgical practices. Its rituals, shaped by both ancient Christian customs and Armenian cultural influences, reflect profound reverence and spiritual depth. The Divine Liturgy, together with the sacraments of the Church, celebrated in Classical Armenian, incorporate centuries-old chants, incense, and ornate vestments, creating an atmosphere that connects the faithful to the early Church.
