Em- power your Word in its truth and purity, and remove all ob- stacles to fellowship so that, one day, recognizing unity in the Gospel in all its articles, we might with great joy celebrate fellowship at pulpit and altar; through Christ, our Lord. • The churches, [names and countries], with whom we work toward faithful ecumenism. Bring the light of Your pure Word where articles of doctrine divide us, prevent error from tak- ing root, and grant patience for faithful witness; through Christ, our Lord. Numbers correspond to weeks in the year, with two church bodies remembered each week in prayer. Prayers may start at the beginning of the calendar year or Church Year, or at any time. The important thing is to pray for God’s promised blessings in Christ. Sister Churches, In Altar and Pulpit Fellowship (43) 1.
