This week is the 2006 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, a week long time of ecumenical prayer for Christians that embraces the unit between denominations (Jesus Christ as the savior of humankind)and not the divisiveness (celibacy of leaders, abortion, ordination of women). The theme is that there is more that unites Christians than divides them.

Matthew 18:18-20

“Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
