GARRISON, N.Y., May 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Â "We saw the star in the East, and we came to worship him" (cf. Matthew 2:2) is the theme for the 2022 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. It was discerned by the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC) in Beirut, Lebanon, and finds its origins in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 2:1-12). "The star in the east above Judea led the Magi to the birthplace of Jesus Christ, king and savior of all humanity," said Fr. James Loughran, SA, Director of Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute. "Two thousand years later, it still beckons us, lighting the way to Christ, who is the light of the world."
