This year's theme -
God’s Wisdom Provides New Understanding
Theme of service written by the WDP committee of Guyana
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 170 countries and regions, have a continuing relationship in prayer and service.
From the World Day of Prayer International Committee:
"The World Day of Prayer worship service has a special annual theme.
The selection of themes and writers is made at the quadrennial WDP International Committee Meeting.
Once the themes and writers are chosen, women of the selected WDP Committee develop a common worship on the theme determined at the international meeting."
"Through preparation and participation in the worship service, we can come to know how our sisters of other countries, languages and cultures understand the biblical passages in their context.
We can hear their concerns and needs and can feel ourselves in solidarity with them.
In this way it is possible to experience the richness of the Christian faith as it grows deeper and broader in an international, ecumenical expression."
Canada's WDP Committee is the Women's Inter-Church Council of Canada established in 1918.
